Is there a right Processing Sequence for Infrared Images?

Hello,

I'm using Infrared-Images for detection of edges and cracks. Is there a way for right processing sequence to do that? For example: which operation should be done first, to get better quality?

1. stretchlim()
2. convert to 8 bit
3. remove noise with a filter
4. sharpen the image

Which operation sequence makes sense, or does not matter?

Thanks a lot!

S.M.

In general algorithms depend on the image, which people usually give us if they're asking for image processing advice.

The first two things you said, will not increase quality. And sometimes sharpening reduces quality.
