Abstract:
An image processing system and related method. The system comprises an input interface (IN) configured for receiving an input image. A filter (FIL) of the system filters said input image to obtain a structure image from said input image, said structure image including a range of image values. A range identifier (RID) of the system identifies, based on an image histogram for the structure image, an image value sub-range within said range. The sub-range being associated with a region of interest. The system output through an output interface (OUT) a specification for said image value sub-range. In addition or instead, a mask image for the region of interest or for region or low information is output.
