Motion Detection for Adaptive Spatio-temporal Filtering of Medical X-Ray Image Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatio-temporal filters are used to improve the quality of Xray image sequences exhibiting severe noise in real-time. The spatial and temporal ratios have to be adapted locally in order to avoid artifacts. We propose a method processing the positive and negative pixel values of difference images independently in order to detect regions dominated by motion and single pixels dominated by noise. In the context of noiseadaptive binarization using Euler numbers, the influence of noise and motion on Euler curves is investigated.

Adaptive spatial-temporal filtering applied to x-ray fluoroscopy angiography
Adaptive filtering of temporally varying X-ray image sequences acquired during endovascular interventions can improve the visual tracking of catheters by radiologists. Existing techniques blur the important parts of image sequences, such as catheter tips, anatomical structures and organs; and they may introduce trailing artifacts. To address this concern, an adaptive filtering process is presen...
متن کاملAdaptive Noise Filtering of Image Sequences in Real Time
Filtering noise in image sequences is an important preprocessing task in many image processing applications, including but not limited to real-time x-ray image sequences obtained in angiography. The main objective in real-time noise filtering is to improve the quality of the resultant image sequences. Practically affordable approaches are generally suboptimal and deal with the spatial and tempo...
متن کاملLAST Filter for Artifact-Free Noise Reduction of Fluoroscopic Sequences in Real-Time
We present a spatio-temporal filter for real-time noise reduction of strongly corrupted X-ray image sequences. It possesses efficient noise reduction while, at the same time, preventing typical artifacts of state-of-the-art methods. Decisive for these features are, in particular, innovative motion detection as well as noise-adaptive filter parametrization. Motion detection based on twofold sign...
متن کاملNoise reduction of image sequences using motion compensation and signal decomposition
In this paper, a new spatio-temporal filtering method for removing noise from image sequences is proposed. This method combines the use of motion compensation and signal decomposition to account for the effects of object motion. Because of object motion, image sequences are temporally nonstationary, which requires the use of adaptive filters. By motion compensating the sequence prior to filteri...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising
MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...
