Precise Image-Based Measurements through Irregular Sampling
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mathematical morphology is a theory that is applicable broadly in signal processing, but in this thesis we focus mainly on image data. Fundamental concepts of morphology include the structuring element and the four operators: dilation, erosion, closing, and opening. One way of thinking about the role of the structuring element is as a probe, which traverses the signal (e.g. the image) systematically and inspects how well it "fits" in a certain sense that depends on the operator.Although morphology is defined in the discrete as well as in the continuous domain, often only the discrete case is considered in practice. However, commonly digital images are a representation of continuous reality and thus it is of interest to maintain a correspondence between mathematical morphology operating in the discrete and in the continuous domain. Therefore, much of this thesis investigates how to better approximate continuous morphology in the discrete domain. We present a number of issues relating to this goal when applying morphology in the regular, discrete case, and show that allowing for irregularly sampled signals can improve this approximation, since moving to irregularly sampled signals frees us from constraints (namely those imposed by the sampling lattice) that harm the correspondence in the regular case. The thesis develops a framework for applying morphology in the irregular case, using a wide range of structuring elements, including non-flat structuring elements (or structuring functions) and adaptive morphology. This proposed framework is then shown to better approximate continuous morphology than its regular, discrete counterpart.Additionally, the thesis contains work dealing with regularly sampled images using regular, discrete morphology and weighting to improve results. However, these cases can be interpreted as specific instances of irregularly sampled signals, thus naturally connecting them to the overarching theme of irregular sampling, precise measurements, and mathematical morphology.

- Ring artifacts can occur in reconstructed images from X-ray microtomography as full or partial circles centred on the rotation axis. In this paper, a 2D method is proposed that reduces these ring artifacts in the reconstructed images. The method consists of two main parts. First, the artifacts are localised in the image using local orientation estimation of the image structures and filtering to find ring patterns in the orientation information. Second, the map of the located artifacts is used to calculate a correction image using normalised convolution. The method is evaluated on 2D images from volume data of paper fibre imaged at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) with high resolution X-ray microtomography. The results show that the proposed method reduces the artifacts and restores the pixel values for all types of partial and complete ring artifacts where the signal is not completely saturated.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A common way to determine tissue acceptance of biomaterials is to perform histomorphometrical analysis on histologically stained sections from retrieved samples with surrounding tissue, using various methods. The “time and money consuming” methods and techniques used are often “in house standards”. We address light microscopic investigations of bone tissue reactions on un-decalcified cut and ground sections of threaded implants. In order to screen sections and generate results faster, the aim of this pilot project was to compare results generated with the in-house standard visual image analysis tool (i.e., quantifications and judgements done by the naked eye) with a custom made automatic image analysis program. The histomorphometrical bone area measurements revealed no significant differences between the methods but the results of the bony contacts varied significantly. The raw results were in relative agreement, i.e., the values from the two methods were proportional to each other: low bony contact values in the visual method corresponded to low values with the automatic method. With similar resolution images and further improvements of the automatic method this difference should become insignificant. A great advantage using the new automatic image analysis method is that it is time saving—analysis time can be significantly reduced.
