Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.Although this paper can provide the demonstration of the parameter that comprises particular value, should be appreciated that parameter need not definitely to equal corresponding value, but can in acceptable error margin or design constraint, be similar to described value.
The present invention is a kind of pseudo-shadow removal method of selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging based on the doubling of the image.It is fuzzy to the present invention is directed in the selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging removal of images noise, strip artifact and scattering, scan mode by the vertical-lifting sample is carried out repeatedly overlapping imaging to the sample same position, and utilize image weighting average to suppress the various pseudo-shadow in the imaging, Effective Raise picture quality.As shown in Figure 1a, common selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging can owing to the high object that absorbs in the light path causes imaging region strip artifact to occur, affect image quality in scanning; Shown in Fig. 1 b, strip artifact is obvious in the detector image-forming zone.Be the formation method synoptic diagram that the embodiment of the invention adopts such as Fig. 1 c, by the scan mode of vertical-lifting sample the sample same position carried out repeatedly overlapping imaging, namely each part can be by repeatedly imaging in the sample.The a large amount of superimposed images data that collect are weighted on average, draw the average image of sample.Fig. 1 d has shown the imaging effect figure of the inventive method, and the pseudo-shadow of visible imaging is greatly suppressed.The present invention carries out the high-quality imaging for the selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging with situations such as noise, strip artifact and scattering are fuzzy specially.
Implementation of the present invention is divided into two key steps: Image Acquisition and data are processed, wherein, image acquisition step is by the vertical-lifting sample, the sample same position is carried out repeatedly overlapping imaging, can collect a large amount of superimposed images data of each part in the sample by this step, in these superimposed images data, only some jail-bar artifacts and scattering ambiguity occur, and most of image is all more clear.The data processing step image that these are overlapping is weighted on average according to position relationship, obtains the general image of sample, thereby suppresses noise, jail-bar artifacts and the problem such as fuzzy in some topography.The below utilizes the experiment of mouse colon to describe step of the present invention, adopts the mouse colon to carry out the selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging of the doubling of the image in the experiment, and imaging system imaging region size is 3.8mm * 3.8mm; Image resolution ratio is 500 * 500; Each pixel size is 7.6 μ m; The distance of each vertically mobile 5 pixels of sample, i.e. 38 μ m; The total distance of sample vertical-lifting is 38mm, needs altogether mobile 1000 samples; Gather 1000 width of cloth images, the whole sample image size that obtains is 3.8mm * 38mm.If do not adopt the selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging of the doubling of the image, need to gather 10 width of cloth images with the whole imaging of realization sample, but picture quality is relatively poor.Take the colon experiment as example, detailed step of the present invention is as follows:
Step S1: this step scans the image that gets access to a series of axial translations for selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging, according to sample-size, calculates the distance that each step of sample promotes.By measuring, this sample is being of a size of 3.5mm * 38mm (size of different samples on a certain faultage image changes) on a certain faultage image, and the imaging region of imaging system is 3.8mm * 3.8mm (imaging region of different imaging systems is different).Image pixel size is to determine that by the actual imaging system relevant with hardware configuration, pixel size is 7.6 μ m in the present embodiment, and the each mobile step value of sample should be the integral multiple of image pixel size.Here we select the length of 5 pixels as the step value of each sample vertical-lifting, and then the step value of each sample lifting is 7.6 μ m*5=38 μ m; The number of times that sample need to promote is the ratio of sample height and step value, and namely 38mm/38 μ is m=1000 time; The multiplicity that each local location of sample is gathered is the ratio of imaging region height and step value, and the height of imaging region is 3.8mm, and the multiplicity that each local location is gathered is 3.8mm/38 μ m=100 time.General image is wide 3.8mm * high 38mm, and resolution is 500 * 5000, complete Covering samples, and wherein, the distance of vertical-lifting sample is less than the height in detector image-forming zone.As shown in Figure 2, detector focuses on first focal plane lastblock imaging region, and detector position is fixed.Regulate the focal plane, make it focus on above-mentioned selected fault surface.Determine the sample initial position, namely the sample upper end in the detector image-forming zone bottom.In the vertical-lifting sample, the beginning data acquisition, and recorded collection position, be convenient to the image subsequent treatment.When the leaving bottom detector and become the zone of sample, finish image acquisition, so far gather altogether 1000 images.This step can make that each regional area is gathered 100 times repeatedly in the sample, has greatly suppressed the noise effect of accidental appearance.
Step S2: the great amount of images that collects is weighted on average according to position relationship, obtains the general image of sample.Every width of cloth image is when being weighted, the weighting template of image adopts the flat-top pyramid weighting template figure shown in Fig. 3 a, the resolution of template figure is identical with image, be 500 * 500, the weighted value of weighting template figure zone line all is 30, the weighted value of 30 row or column at weighting template figure edge therefrom mind-set edge successively decreases 1 by row or by leu, utilize such weighting template figure, can weaken zone, image border shared proportion when weighted mean, thus the edge of topography in the level and smooth general image.Utilize flat-top pyramid weighting template, according to the position relationship weighted mean and piece together a width of cloth general image, general image is shown in Fig. 3 b with all images that collect in the present invention.
Selectivity plane irradiation micro-imaging to the described doubling of the image of the embodiment of the invention, Fig. 4 is that the embodiment of the invention is based on the selectivity plane irradiation micro imaging method of the doubling of the image, carry out imaging for a certain section of mouse colon, adopt respectively traditional formation method and the inventive method to obtain result's comparison.The whole mouse colon tomograph of Fig. 4 a for using traditional formation method to draw; The whole mouse colon tomograph of Fig. 4 b for using the present invention to draw; Fig. 4 c, Fig. 4 d, Fig. 4 e and Fig. 4 f local tomograph for using traditional formation method to draw; Fig. 4 g, Fig. 4 h, Fig. 4 i and Fig. 4 j local tomograph for using the present invention to draw.Can see that the present invention can effectively improve picture quality.
