In order to display X-ray images with high dynamic range obtained by industrial and medical detection systems on commonSmonitors, a tone mapping algorithm based on multiscale and local edge preserving filter was proposed in this paper. First of all, after the original image was filtered iteratively, three base layer images were obtained and three detail layer images were the differences between adjacent base layer images. Secondly, the details information of each detail layer image is enhanced. Thirdly three detail layer images was superimposed with the last foundation layer image. Finally, histogram equalization was used to improve the image quality by changing the gray value of noise pixels and other pixels whose luminance appeared rarely. Experimental results shows, the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved in terms of structural fidelity, naturalness and image quality score. And the efficiency of X-ray detection system can be enhanced.
