    摘要: A method for detecting markers within X-ray images includes applying directional filters to a sequence of X-ray image frames. Marker candidate pixels are determined based on the output of the directional filters. Candidate pixels are grouped into clusters and distances between each possible pair of clusters is determined and the most frequently occurring distance is considered an estimated distance between markers. A first marker is detected at the cluster that most closely resembles a marker based on certain criteria and a second marker is then detected at a cluster that is the estimated distance from the first marker. The pair of first and second marker detections is scored to determine detection quality. If the detected marker pair has an acceptable score then the detected marker pair is used.

    摘要: A method for automatically detecting the presence of contrast in an x-ray image includes acquiring an x-ray image prior to administration of contrast. A background image is estimated based on the x-ray image. The contrast is administered. A set of x-ray images is acquired. The background image is subtracted from the set of images. Image intensity is determined for each of the subtracted images. The subtracted images having highest image intensity are selected. A predefined shape model is fitted to the selected subtracted images. The fitting of the predefined shape model is used to fit the shape model to each of the subtracted images. A feature value is calculated for each image frame based on pixel intensities of each pixel fitted to the shape model for the corresponding subtracted image. An image frame of peak contrast is determined by selecting the image frame with the greatest feature value.

    摘要: An acoustic signal traversing a hot gas is sampled at a source and a receiver and is represented in overlapping windows that maximize useable signal content. Samples in each window are processed to represented in different sparsified bins in the frequency domain. Determining a signal delay between the source and the receiver from a summation of maximum smoothed coherence transform cross-correlation values of different data windows wherein a sparseness of a mean smoothed coherence transform cross-correlation of windows is maximized. Determining a set of delay times wherein outliers are deleted to estimate a time of flight from which a temperature of the hot gas is calculated.
