In the research field of color images, image quality analysis and enhancement are increasingly important. Therefore, we focus on image enhancement in this research. For this reason, we propose a new opinion about image enhancement by multi-scale image filter. The multi-scale image filter apply the bilateral filtering scheme and PSO algorithm to improve the image quality. This study expects to improve the image quality by multi-scale image filter. %K Image enhancement %K Particle swarm optimization %K Bilateral filter %U http://www.ier-institute.org/2160-0635/v2/no4/054.pdf
