Abstract
A X-ray chest image rib suppression method based on Poisson model. It conducts contourlet transformation on the image and utilizes transformation coefficient correlation between different scales to conduct texture enhancement on the image; it designs strip-type detection filter in accordance with the Hessian matrix eigenvalue to the image and detects the area where the rib locates in; it combines enhanced texture and rib area information, establishes and solves rib suppression Poisson model, realizing the rib suppression in the image. Anisotropy and contourlet transformation multi-direction feature is utilized, scale and coefficients direction information are combined and distinction degree between texture and noise improves, enhancing texture while restraining noise; it realizes ribs suppression through solving the Poisson model, which does not need to conduct accurate segmentation on the rib, prevents unnatural transition problem of edges resulted from explicit ribs suppression and effectively suppress the ribs, improving observation effect of X-ray chest image.
