摘要
En 中文
Image acquisition techniques often suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and/or contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Although many acquisition techniques are available to minimize these, post acquisition filtering is a major off-line image processing technique commonly used to improve the SNR and CNR. A major drawback of filtering is that it often diffuses/blurs important structures along with noise. In this paper, we introduce two scale-based filtering methods that use local structure size or object scale information to arrest smoothing around fine structures and across even low-gradient boundaries. The first of these methods uses a weighted average over a scale-dependent neighborhood while the other employs scale-dependent diffusion conductance to perform filtering. Both methods adaptively modify the degree of filtering at any image location depending on local object scale. Object scale allows us to accurately use a restricted homogeneity parameter for filtering in regions with fine details and in the vicinity of boundaries while a generous parameter in the interiors of homogeneous regions. Qualitative experiments based on both phantoms and patient magnetic resonance images show significant improvements using the scale-based methods over the extant anisotropic diffusive filtering method in preserving fine details and sharpness of object boundaries. Quantitative analyses utilizing 25 phantom images generated under a range of conditions of blurring, noise, and background variation confirm the superiority of the new scale-based approaches.
