Processing image

Another image-processing method that is especially applicable to many pharmaceutical sample images is particle statistics analysis. This technique works well when the individual

The preferred method in PIV is to capture two images on two separate frames and perform cross-correlation analysis. This cross-correlation function has a single peak, 

Most commonly used interrogation region dimensions are 64 x 64 pixels for autocorrelation, and 32 x 32 pixels for cross-correlation analysis. Since the maximum particle displacement is about a third of these dimensions, to achieve reasonable accuracy and dynamic range for PIV measurements, it is necessary to be able to measure the particle displacements with subpixel accuracy. 

A spatial frequency low-pass filter can reduce the high-frequency noise generated by the camera, and ensure that the subpixel interpolation algorithm can still work in cases where the particles in the image map are less than 2 pixels in diameter. Typical image to vector processing sequence is shown in Fignre 4-63. 

The spatial resolution of PIV can be increased using mnltipass correlation approaches. Offsetting the interrogation region by a value equal to the local 

If the filter function cuts off very close to the spots, then the reformed image contains only the periodic information, with any local defects suppressed along with the noise. This gives a

The three-dimensional electron tomographical construction of silica-supported metallocene catalysts using conventional TEM (Steinmetz et al 2000), and a novel method for the automated acquisition of tilt series for electron tomography of nanoparticles using STEM have been reported (Zeisse et al 2000). The HAADE-STEM is shown to be capable of determining the compositions of individual nanoparticle catalysts of a few atoms supported on porous substrates (Vaughan et al 1999).

It is particularly in the serial inspection of castings, that radioscopy constitutes state-of-the-art when applied in conjunction with systems for image intensification, digital image processing and automatic image evaluation. For the examination of welds, however, standardization is still non-existent, thus rendering more difficult the application of this inspection technique.As a consequence the approval procedures of the respective supervisory or certification boards are often complicated and of necessity set up for each individual case.

The specific advantage of this technique is its higher sensitivity than classical film radiography and the potential for automated image processing due to the digital read-out of the IP s. Former investigations have shown / / that the available IP s achieve the same contrast like NDT films with an IP type and scanner dependent unsharpness. 

We used a SUN SPARCstation with commercially available image processing software (AGFA Mimosa and Musica). The images were treated for visual inspection applying the Musica algorithm full force /3/. 

When the grey level dynamic range in the image processed is small, usually because of a poor illumination or a non uniform lighting, it s possible to increase this dynamic range by a histogram transformation. This transformation affect the intensity distributions and increase the contrast.

Due to the application of the described image processing steps on image sequences up to 1000 images per second, it is possible to determine and to analyse the transport process of several hard particles concerning their location, velocity and acceleration inside the molten bath. 

One more significant aspect of modem microscopy is the quantitative interpretation of the images in terms of the microstmcture of the object. Although most microscopes include or can be combined with powerful image processing systems, the interpretation of the contrast is still the main problem. On the other hand, reliable micromorpbological information could be easily obtained from a set of thin flat cross sections which reveal only density information, from which case accurate two- and three-dimensional numerical parameters of the internal microstmcture could be calculated. 

Increasing production and therefore inspection rates may increase the stress to the inspector and result in a decreasing reproducability and flaw detection rate. In addition by replacing the human inspector by a fully automatic image processing tremendeous cost savings are achieved. 

The QAP system additionally was developped for inspection documentation purposes to meet the modern requirements in process documentation (ISO 9000). It is the basic system required to install a fully automated inspection by a camera system and image processing.
