Correction for spatial averaging in laser speckle contrast analysis
Practical laser speckle contrast analysis systems face a problem of spatial averaging of speckles, due to the pixel size in the cameras used. Existing practice is to use a system factor in speckle contrast analysis to account for spatial averaging. The linearity of the system factor correction has not previously been confirmed. The problem of spatial averaging is illustrated using computer simu...
متن کاملClinical significance of partial volume averaging of the temporal bone.
The effects of partial volume averaging on computed tomographic images of temporal bone structures were evaluated. The models chosen for study included a cadaver stapes, two metallic prosthetic stapes, and a formalin-fixed temporal bone. The studies measured the changes in apparent dimension and Hounsfield units with incremental filling of voxels with metallic densities, changes in the angle of...
متن کاملBlotches Correction and Contrast Enhancement for Old Film Pictures
A complete system for old picture restoration is described: in particular, a frame alignment method, a simple deblotching algorithm and a nonlinear approach for contrast enhancement are proposed. The frame alignment uses a global motion compensation, with a logarithmic search for the correction vector. The blotch removal step consists of two stages. Blotches are rst detected using two suitable ...
متن کاملStatistical Based PET Partial Volume Correction
The partial volume effect in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a problem for quantitative radiotracer studies. This effect results from the limited spatial resolution of the imaging device (a few mm’s). Two factors are involved; the spillover of radioactivity into neighbouring regions and the underlying tissue inhomogeneity of the particular region. Linear methods are currently used to corr...
متن کاملImage-Based Partial-Volume Correction in SPECT
Introduction and aim: In SPECT imaging, the finite spatial resolution of the imaging system leads to a blurring of the reconstructed image. Consequently, counts originating from each point in the source distribution will be spread out over a volume in the reconstructed image, leading to spill-over of counts between different structures and distortion of the apparent activity concentration. This...
