Matlab Image Processing Image Specific Enhacement

This is a broad question pertaining to image processing and coding. If I want to create a program in Matlab that enhances images ( better contrast, edge sharpening etc. )that is specific to each image and changes them depending on a particular image basis and doesn't do the same exact enhancing for every image, would that be in the realm of machine learning and computer vision since the program changes the images accordingly? I'm a beginner coder and am working on this small project for a biophysics lab. They want me to write a program that takes two images of skin lesions ( skin tumors) and make a composite picture ( using subtraction method or division method). My only problem is that the function I've made enhances the images that I've been practicing with and probably won't enhance any arbitrary images given to me since different images have to be enhanced differently. So i'm not sure if I should learn advanced computer vision algorithims.

Could be, depending on what operations were performed. I'd probably just call it garden variety image processing though, unless you're trying to snag sponsorship and want some "hot and trendy" words to dazzle them with.

Note: My answer applied to your original question about whether enhancement was termed Computer Vision or Machine Learning.

For you new question, of course you should learn computer vision/image processing/enhancement methods if you have the time and desire. Start with my File Exchange

Thank you so much. The tutorials you provided are very helpful. I've been reading through various textbooks and it can be overwhelming since there is so much information to learn. Thanks again.
