Contrast Sensitivity Functions for Road Visibility Estimation on Digital Images
Automotive lighting systems are designed in order to provide the driver enough visibility, day and night, whatever the weather. In road lighting practice, an object of a fixed size in a simple scene is considered as visible if the contrast between its luminance and its background luminance is higher than a threshold contrast. This ratio is denoted VL (Visibility Level). We propose a framework i...
متن کاملNonlinear Enhancement of Extremely High Contrast Images for Visibility Improvement
This paper presents a novel image enhancement algorithm using a multilevel windowed inverse sigmoid (MWIS) function for rendering images captured under extremely non uniform lighting conditions. MWIS based image enhancement is a combination of three processes viz. adaptive intensity enhancement, contrast enhancement and color restoration. Adaptive intensity enhancement uses the non linear trans...
متن کاملMRI and CT contrast media extravasation
BACKGROUND This systematic review combines data from multiple papers on contrast media extravasation to identify factors contributing to increased extravasation risk. METHODS Data were extracted from 17 papers reporting 2191 extravasations in 1,104,872 patients (0.2%) undergoing computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS Extravasation rates were 0.045% for gadolin...
متن کاملEffect of concentration of contrast medium on coronary CT angiography.
OBJECTIVE To compare concentration of contrast medium for vascular opacification at ascending aorta using retrospective reconstruction of coronary CT angiography. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHOD Eighty-four patients undergoing coronary CT angiography with 16 multi-detector rows at Siriraj Hospital between September 2003 and July 2004 were included in this study. The pa...
متن کاملOptimal contrast concentration for CT-guided epidural steroid injections.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Contrast is used in CT-guided epidural steroid injections to ensure proper needle placement. Once injected, undiluted contrast often obscures the needle, hindering subsequent repositioning. The purpose of this investigation was to establish the optimal contrast dilution for CT-guided epidural steroid injections. MATERIALS AND METHODS This investigation consisted of an i...
