局部扫描情况下多项式拟合的X射线硬化校正

在进行X-CT成像时,容易诱发射束硬化效应。通过多项式拟合建立起多色投影同透射距离的数学模型,然后将多色投影校正为单色投影,是一种简单高效的射束硬化校正方法。对于局部扫描的情况,在重建图像域通过正投影方法计算得到的透射距离不再代表真实的射线穿过长度,拟合数据不再有效。因此借助一圆柱模体,根据圆柱自身的几何特性,通过解析的方法计算得到射线真实的透射距离,并用于射束硬化校正。实验结果表明,该方法能够有效抑制射束硬化引起的图像伪影,提高CT重建图像质量。     

一种工业CT测量精度评估方法

为了验证工业CT系统对检测件的测量精度,设计了一套评估方法,针对由国家X射线数字化成像仪器中心自主研发的9 MeV 高能工业CT系统和450 kV工业CT系统,设计制作了标准测量试块,以三坐标测量机为辅助测量手段,对CT图像的线性尺寸、球面尺寸、角度尺寸、孔径尺寸和定位尺寸等进行对比测量,得到不同尺寸类型的测量误差。在不考虑尺寸类型的影响下,分别对铝、不锈钢和尼龙三种材料做了CT测量误差对比,结果表明,对于这三种材料来说,材料密度越大测量精度越高。实验结果表明,可验证工业CT系统对不同类型尺寸测量的精度,工业CT系统可完成精度较高的尺寸测量工作,特别对复杂结构的内部尺寸测量有一定的优势。     

Automatic detection of the belt-like region in an image with variational PDE model

In this paper, we propose a novel method to automatically detect the belt-like object, such as highway, river, etc., in a given image based on Mumford-Shah function and the evolution of two phase curves. The method can automatically detect two curves that are the boundaries of the belt-like object. In fact, this is a partition problem and we model it as an energy minimization of a Mumford-Shah function based minimal partition problem like active contour model. With Eulerian formulation the partial differential equations (PDEs) of curve evolution are given and the two curves will stop on the desired boundary. The stop term does not depend on the gradient of the image and the initial curves can be anywhere in the image. We also give a numerical algorithm using finite differences and present various experimental results. Compared with other methods, our method can directly detect the boundaries of belt-like object as two continuous curves, even if the image is very noisy.
