Comparison of Radiographic Image Processing Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
Several different image processing methods are described and discussed. Their applicability to the processing of images from digital radiography equipment is compared. The overall conclusion is that advanced image enhancement methods are beneficial and can improve detectability of flaws in digital radiography images, but that these enhancement methods have to be used carefully, especially in cases when digital radiography is used under the restrictions of ASME code requirements. In these cases, the indications detected in the enhanced digital images have to be confirmed by simple intensity stretching, equivalent to changing the intensity of the radiographic film viewer, in order to avoid reporting artifacts which could be produced by the image processing procedure itself.

A study of densitometry comparison among three radiographic processing solutions
ABSTRACT Background: The radiographic image accuracy depends on the X-ray film information visibility. Good visibility is found by good contrast. Radiation exposure parameters (kVp, mAs) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. In dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. No optimized exposure time and process...

متن کاملFeasibility of detecting and localizing radioactive source using image processing and computational geometry algorithms
We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
