    As an important means of image processing, the edge enhancement techniques play an important role in amplitude-contrast and phase-contrast objects imaging. The vortex filtering techniques based on radial Hilbert transform have attracted much attention because it can achieve isotropic edge enhancement. However, the classical vortex filtering causes background noise and contrast reduction due to diffraction caused by central singularities and sharp edges. In recent years, many research groups have proposed new types of vortex filters for vortex filtering side lobe suppression. In addition, the isotropic and anisotropic edge enhancement techniques based on vortex filtering have also developed rapidly. In this paper, several methods for suppressing vortex side lobes were summarized in recent years, including Laguerre Gaussian amplitude modulation, Bessel-like amplitude modulation, and Airy amplitude modulation. What′s more, from two aspects: scalar vortex filtering and vector vortex filtering, the isotropic and anisotropic edge enhancement methods and progress were reviewed.
