Novel Vessel Image Enhancement Method with Forward and Backward Diffusion
Guo Liang Lu · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2012
A new method of vessel image enhancement is presented.Based on the multi-scale image analysis of vessel image,the vascular response function instead of gradient is applied to construct a vessel image diffusion coefficient.The constructed diffusion coefficient contains Forward and Backward(FAB) diffusion operation.While de-noising the image,it also sharpens the edge of the vessel image.Experiments on synthesis image and pulmonary image describe the performance of the method.This new method has a better result in image restoration than conventional diffusion methods.
