APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image processing apparatus and method including executing high-pass filtering in a column direction on the pixel values of original image data read from a flat panel detector to obtain first image data, and subtracting a value obtained by converting each of the pixel values of the first image data in accordance with an absolute value of a statistic calculated from pixel values in the same pixel row of the first image data from the value of a corresponding pixel of the original image data to obtain processed image data.

1. An image processing apparatus for reducing noise in an X-ray image obtained from a digital X-ray detector, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a processing unit configured to apply, to the X-ray image, an averaging process of values of pixels of the X-ray image lined in a specific direction to obtain a data set including a plurality of items of data lined in the specific direction, and to extract linear noise in the specific direction from the data set; and a reduction unit configured to reduce noise of the X-ray image based on the extracted linear noise, wherein the processing unit is configured to perform a process for extracting the linear noise for each of segmented imaging regions of the data set, the segmented imaging regions obtained by segmenting the data set in the specific direction.
