چکیده

This work describes the theory of resampling effects within the context of image simulation for mammographic images. The process of digitization associated with using digital imaging technology needs to be correctly addressed in any image simulation process. Failure to do so can lead to overblurring in the final synthetic image. A method for weighted neighbourhood averaging is described for non-integer scaling factors in resampling images. The use of the method is demonstrated by comparing simulated and real images of an edge test object acquired on two clinical mammography systems. Images were simulated using two setups: from idealised images and from images obtained with clinical systems. A Gaussian interpolation method is proposed as a single step solution to modelling blurring filters for the simulation process. PACS numbers: 87.57.C, 87.57.cf, 87.57.cp Submitted to: Phys. Med.

Investigation of Resampling Effects on Irs-1d Pan Data

Image resampling is frequently employed in geometric correction as a part of preprocessing of a remotely sensed image. The resampled images will have a noticeable change in image quality, which may have an adverse impact on the accuracy of subsequent image analysis for information extraction. Information of edges is very important, especially in high spatial resolution imagery. The present stud...

Contourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration

Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...

Affine adaptive filtering of CT data

A novel method for resampling and enhancing image data using multidimensional adaptive filters is presented. The underlying issue that this paper addresses is segmentation of image structures that are close in size to the voxel geometry. Adaptive filtering is used to reduce both the effects of partial volume averaging by resampling the data to a lattice with higher sample density and to reduce ...

Remote Sensing Image Fusion for Different Spectral and Spatial Resolutions with Bilinear Resampling Wavelet Transform

It is an important way that some remote sensing images of different spatial and spectral resolutions are fused to satisfy the requirement of general application. In order to achieve a good fusion result, low spatial spectral images should be resampled. At present, nearest neighbor resampling is often adopted which has some effects on the precision of new image. In this paper, an image fusion me...

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...
