Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is digital X-ray image process flow figure of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
A kind of digital X-ray image blood processor, it comprises that picture breakdown module, signal processing module, image synthesis unit and obtain the input interface of external image information, this picture breakdown module can be carried out 4/9 sampling to external image and be obtained image under the different resolution, the external image that obtains is decomposed into the details of different levels; Described signal processing module uses the Log computing that the signal on the above-mentioned details at all levels is carried out equilibrium treatment, and the signal that gain amplifier is less suppresses the bigger signal of gain, uses multi-level gaussian filtering, suppresses to be distributed in the image noise of different frequency section.
Digital X-ray image processing method of the present invention adopts the thinking of multiresolution that image is handled, this method at first uses improved pyramid algorith raw digitized X line image to be resolved into the details (image of input is primary linear image) of different levels, then these details are carried out signal processing: use the Log computing that the signal on each level is handled, simultaneously in conjunction with statistic design Log computing parameter, can effectively strengthen with balanced the signal on the different levels, carry out processing such as noise reduction simultaneously in conjunction with gaussian filtering, at last with these details reconstruct, the image after obtaining handling.
In the entire process process of digital X-ray image processing method of the present invention, used following method:
1. pyramid algorith is in the past carried out 1/4 sampling to image and is obtained image under the different resolution, because the frequency of sampling is too little, so the interval between the different resolution is too big, the frequency content that causes the signal that decomposes out to cover is more, is unfavorable for next step signal processing.Therefore improved pyramid algorith proposed, improved pyramid algorith is carried out 4/9 sampling to image and is obtained image different resolution under and (horizontal and vertically use 2/3 to sample respectively, the interval of sampling is more neat, can improve arithmetic speed), sampling interval between the different resolution has been dwindled nearly one times like this, effectively reduce the frequency content of the signal covering of decomposing, improved treatment effect greatly.
2. in conjunction with statistic design Log computing parameter, use the Log computing that the signal on each level is handled, effectively the less signal that gains has been amplified in the equilibrium that signal is carried out, and has suppressed the bigger signal of gain.And way in the past is to adopt the unified mode of dwindling gain of amplifying to handle, and is difficult to obtain ideal results.
3. using multi-level gaussian filtering, be different from existing gaussian filtering, existing gaussian filtering adopts bigger volume collection to check image and handles in order to suppress picture noise, and not only operand is very big, simultaneously effective high-frequency signal has also been carried out great inhibition.Use multi-level gaussian filtering, can effectively suppress to be distributed in the image noise of different frequency section on the one hand, can use less volume collection nuclear simultaneously, arithmetic speed also is greatly improved.Referring to accompanying drawing 1, wherein signal processing has comprised two parts: signal equalization and noise suppressed.
Signal equalization has just used the use Log computing of narrating above the signal on each level has been handled.At first the absolute value of each layer detail signal carries out statistics with histogram.Determine log computing parameter according to histogrammic distribution situation then:
F(x)=a*logcb*(x+1) (x>=0)
F(x)=-a*logcb*(-x+1) (x<0)
Wherein, parameter a is used for the gain of control hierarchy signal, can use less gain than the level signal of low frequency, is used for realizing dynamic range compression, and the level signal to higher-frequency can use bigger gain simultaneously, is used for realizing that details strengthens.
Parameter b and c are used for controlling the shape of log curve, like this as x during less than certain numerical value, tangent slope>1 of F (x) corresponding point, as x during less than certain numerical value, tangent slope<1 of F (x) corresponding point, simultaneously, when the slope of F (x) constantly successively decreases along with increasing progressively of x, thereby realize the signal equalization in each level.
Noise suppressed is carried out gaussian filtering by the signal to a level of high frequency and just can be realized.The process of gaussian filtering was carried out before the Log computing.Simultaneously, can selectively carry out gaussian filtering to different levels according to the concrete condition of image.
In the inventive method, in the once decomposition of image, integrated dynamic range compression in the synthetic process, tissue is balanced, and multiple Processing Algorithm such as figure image intensifying have improved the efficient of handling.Improved pyramid algorith is handled the signal on each level in conjunction with the Log computing of statistic, also has multi-level gaussian filtering effectively to guarantee the quality of image.Further optimized the effect of Flame Image Process at the image parameter optimization collection of position and position.After treatment, originally more weak being difficult to is easier to be observed by the image information that naked eyes are found; On the other hand, originally very strong signal just alleviates greatly to the interference than weak signal, also helps the observation of small and weak signal.This symphony image processing method has contrast control, details strengthens processing parameter inputs such as control, dynamic range control, noise suppressed control, can effectively mediate to the concrete effect of Flame Image Process.Use equally further tuning (such as the ESA algorithm, or curve mapping etc.) of degree of comparing of image after image processing method of the present invention is handled.
Have following advantage through the digital X-ray image after the pyramid algorith processing:
1. abundant, the nature of image level, details are complete, have eliminated during general pattern strengthens the black surround phenomenon in the high contrast district substantially;
2. Feng Fu adjusting parameter is convenient to experienced doctor and is reached the optimization process effect;
3. at the parameter set at different anatomic position, make things convenient for the doctor to use;
4. allow the user to set up the personalizing parameters collection, be convenient to the doctor and keep the empirical value of oneself; Processing speed is fast, need not the special hardware support.
The clinical value that pyramid algorith has:
1. make the clinician under normal conditions, need not to regulate image can diagnose;
2. good contrast equilibrium has satisfied display effect to the position of some layer of structure complexity such as plain abdominal radiograph etc.;
3. the clinical more diagnostic message of horn of plenty that provides is provided, for example good soft tissue shows, clearly trabecular bone structure etc.
The only unrestricted technical scheme of the present invention in order to explanation is more than described.Any modification or partial replacement that does not break away from spirit and scope of the invention all should be encompassed in the middle of the claim scope of the present invention.
