TL;DR: In this article, a novel optical system is presented for image edge-enhancement by employing photorefractive two-wave coupling in BaTiO3 crystal, in which the ordinarily discarded background light is recycled as the pump source to amplify the signal light.
Abstract: Coupling theory is employed to analyze the coupling gain and a novel optical system is presented for image edge-enhancement by employing photorefractive two-wave coupling in BaTiO3 crystal, in which the ordinarily discarded background light is recycled as the pump source to amplify the signal light. Further, we demonstrate the principle of optical correlation and compare the discrimination capability of two kinds of correlators by computer simulation, in one of which input images are edge-enhanced and in the other the ones do not experience edge-enhancement. At last, we draw a conclusion that edge-enhancement preprocessing can improve discrimination capability effectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for compensating and enhancing a dynamic shielded image in real time, solving the real-time compensation and enhancement problems of the dynamic-shielded image and improving the quality of the image.
Abstract: The invention provides a method for compensating and enhancing a dynamic shielded image in real time, solves the real-time compensation and enhancement problems of the dynamic shielded image and improves the quality of the dynamic shielded image. The technical proposal comprises the steps of estimating the motion vector between two adjacent images by a moderate method based on a video image outputby a camera, combining motion compensation with a time domain Kalman filter technique of a pixel gray value, performing time domain filtering treatment for all pixels so as to compensate the image information of a dynamic shielded area, and finally performing self-adaptive grey widening and edge enhancement treatments for the compensated image.

TL;DR: The purpose of this work was to construct an algorithm that detects image artefacts of emphysema and corrects them and may form a basis for further development of methods for computerized diagnosis and quantification of empysema by HRCT.
Abstract: Emphysema is characterized by destruction of lung tissue with development of small or large holes within the lung. These areas will have Hounsfield values (HU) approaching -1000. It is possible to detect and quantificate such areas using simple density mask technique. The edge enhancement reconstruction algorithm, gravity and motion of the heart and vessels during scanning causes artefacts, however. The purpose of our work was to construct an algorithm that detects such image artefacts and corrects them. The first step is to apply inverse filtering to the image removing much of the effect of the edge enhancement reconstruction algorithm. The next step implies computation of the antero-posterior density gradient caused by gravity and correction for that. Motion artefacts are in a third step corrected for by use of normalized averaging, thresholding and region growing. Twenty healthy volunteers were investigated, 10 with slight emphysema and 10 without. Using simple density mask technique it was not possible to separate persons with disease from those without. Our algorithm improved separation of the two groups considerably. Our algorithm needs further refinement, but may form a basis for further development of methods for computerized diagnosis and quantification of emphysema by HRCT.
