Definitions
- Method for processing an acquired image by means of a guide composed of a plurality of optical fibers
- the present invention relates to a method of processing an image acquired by means of a guide composed of a plurality of optical fibers. It finds a particularly interesting application in the field of medical imaging. However, the invention is of a broader scope since it can be applied to any field in which imaging is carried out by means of a guide composed of a plurality of optical fibers.
- the image guide provides an image.
- a device allows the laser scanning and the light source and the receiver to be moved away from the object to be observed.
- the image guide is an assembly of several thousands of optical fibers whose spatial arrangement is identical at input and at output. The observation of an object through this guide could be compared to an observation via a grid, because of the loss of information between the optical fibers. Visualization is therefore hampered because of the presence of optical fibers: the pattern of optical fibers appears on the acquired image. This requires specific processing in order to eliminate this pattern and improve the readability of the image.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a new method making it possible to render the images acquired by means of a readable multi-optical fiber guide.
- Another object of the invention is to take into account the parasitic effects due to the acquisition device in the processing of the acquired image. At least one of the aforementioned objectives is achieved with a new method of image processing acquired by means of a guide constituted by a plurality of optical fibers. According to the invention, for each optical fiber, the image is isolated acquired an area corresponding to this optical fiber, each area is locally treated individually, then the acquired image is reconstructed by eliminating the pattern due to the optical fibers.
- the act of isolating the optical fibers from the image amounts to isolating from the image the zone corresponding to each fiber.
- the pixels representing the majority injection in terms of surface (area of influence) in a fiber are isolated, it is then possible to carry out local treatments on each optical fiber.
- the low crosstalk of the guide and the injection settings make it possible to guarantee that the informative content of each fiber does not depend on the neighboring fiber, but only on the spatial coherence of the object observed.
- the apparatus carrying out the image acquisition is adjusted so as to have sufficient pixels per fiber: it is thus possible to accurately estimate the information which is detected by this fiber and which is distributed over the pixels representing the optical fiber.
- each optical fiber is isolated from the acquired image and the information detected is processed by each optical fiber.
- the device carrying out the image acquisition is controlled to guarantee the minimum conditions of efficiency of the method according to the invention. To do this, you can modify the sampling rate, the quality of injection into the optical fibers, and the adjustment of the detection chain in order to guarantee an "egg box" type profile, in particular on the control image. .
- the optical fibers are isolated on the image and when each isolated zone is treated, numerous applications can be envisaged such as: the reconstruction of an image without the pattern of the fibers: the fibers interfere with the readability and the subsequent treatments performed on the image; - the control of the roughness of the surface of the guide, the roughness will disturb the injection phenomenon to make it spatially variable; image registration, or image stabilization; the pattern of the fibers prevents any registration of the images between them, knowledge of the place of the fibers and of the information observed makes it possible to readjust the images; super-resolution: small movements can be used in the acquisition of a sequence of images to resample the image with a lower spatial period, and therefore obtain better resolution; quantification of images: information on the image can be extracted much more easily and precisely without the pattern of the optical fibers, - the temporal control of the internal parameters of the acquisition device: knowledge of the place of each fiber and of their optimal injection values makes it possible to control the wear of the guide, and the variations of certain optoelectronic parameters.
- a mask corresponding to the pattern of the fibers, can be applied to the acquired image.
- This mask corresponding to an image of the connected components representing each fiber, is obtained during a step of detecting the fibers from a control image.
- the control image is an image making it possible to clearly distinguish the optical fibers from one another. It can result from the observation of a mirror, from a homogeneous diffusing medium, from a homogeneous fluorescent medium, it can also come from the own back-diffusion inside the bundle of optical fibers. But it can still be the acquired image. At the output of the detection, an image of the connected components (of the segments) representing each optical fiber is therefore obtained. Each gray level represents a unique index designating an optical fiber in the guide.
- the fiber detection step can comprise the following steps: pre-filtering of the control image, segmentation by region, using the LPE "watershed” algorithm, correction of segments having an abnormally large area, and correction of segments presenting an abnormally small surface.
- the pre-filtering step can include a morphological opening step followed by an image inversion step.
- image inversion step we seek to eliminate the parasitic maxima located on the optical fibers.
- an image of the filtered optical fibers of their local maxima is obtained, and smoothed at the level of the inter-fiber zones.
- the image inversion step can be preceded by an anisotropic scalar type diffusion step.
- the pre-filtering can also comprise a step during which an interpolation is carried out to the nearest neighbor to double the size of the image in vertical and horizontal.
- the pre-filtering can also comprise a time filtering step.
- the local processing of each zone can consist in calculating the photon flux detected for each zone
- the flux calculation is carried out by means of a maximum likelihood estimator calculated on a specific injection profile of each fiber. More precisely, we can use the maximum likelihood estimator on the amplitude distribution of the specific injection profile in each optical fiber.
- the profile is a curve representing the injection rate as a function of the distance of the light from the center of the cross section at the end of the optical fiber. Often this profile is modeled by a Gaussian.
- the photon flux detected for each zone of the background image is also calculated, and each value is subtracted from flux of each zone of the acquired image, the flux value of each zone of the corresponding background image, and the bias correction is carried out on the result of this subtraction.
- the background image may be the stray reflections on the optical systems of the acquisition device, and therefore including on the output of the image guide, but it may also be the offset, the electronic noise, of the chain. scanning device.
- the offset corresponds to the term commonly called "offset". If the offset is dominant on the image, we cannot obtain the background simply by removing the image, because the offset depends on the content, and is therefore no longer the same. In this case, a quantile of the histogram is used to estimate it.
- the histogram is that of the image acquired during the measurement in real time, and that of a calibration image during a calibration step as will be seen below.
- the background noise can come from the background of the image or from an offset of the detection chain.
- the correction of bias can consist in spatially separating the fibers into different blocks, in estimating the bias value in each block, in interpolating the values of the bias so as to obtain a bias value for each fiber, and in divide, for each zone, the flux value obtained in the previous step by the corresponding bias value thus obtained.
- the reconstruction of the acquired image can involve a calibration step to calibrate the flow of the acquired image, after local processing, and a mosaic reconstruction step.
- One can use other types of reconstruction, such as by interpolation or with bases of radial functions.
- the present invention can be implemented without the calibration and calibration steps.
- the witness image can be the acquired image.
- the value of the flux obtained after local processing can be divided by a value of flux obtained following a calibration step.
- This division operation makes it possible to compensate for bad injections in certain optical fibers.
- the calibration step consists in: isolating each zone from a calibration image by applying the mask, corresponding to the pattern of the fibers, on this calibration image, calculating the flux of photon detected for each area of the calibration image, and correct the bias on each flux value thus calculated.
- the image obtained at the end of the calibration can be used as a standard for the acquired image so as to obtain an acquired image for which all the optical fibers of the guide would have been injected in the same way.
- the flux calculation is carried out by means of a maximum likelihood estimator calculated on the specific injection profile of each fiber.
- the mask to an image representing a parasitic background, it is possible to calculate the photon flux detected for each zone of the background image, it is possible to subtract from each flux value of each zone of the image d calibration, the flux value of each zone of the corresponding background image, and the bias correction can be carried out on the result of this subtraction.
- the same operations are carried out as during the measurement, that is to say during the processing of an image acquired in real time.
- a calibration image is used which largely shows the pattern of the optical fibers.
- the calibration allows, after detection of the fibers on the control image, to generate an image in which the injection rate will serve as a standard during the measurement in real time.
- the measurement also corrects the injection rate on the acquired image, and the observed flux is calibrated as a function of the standard image so as to reconstruct an acquired image without pattern of the optical fibers.
- bias is meant a low frequency component, this component being able to come from various causes.
- Bias correction can be performed during calibration and during real-time measurement.
- this can come from the fact that the calibration is done for example on a plane mirror, and that the curvature of the field will reduce the quality of injection on return to the edges (which are defocused).
- the injection remains less good at the edges, and this results in a bias very similar to the first in terms of its shape.
- the bias can also come from a vignetting problem. Generally, the bias has an almost circular symmetry.
- the bias is estimated by dividing the image into NxN blocks of fixed size, then estimating the bias on each block. For this it is necessary to consider the nature of the object observed.
- the bias can be acquired by taking the mean or median value on the block.
- the bias can be multiplicative, and we therefore rather take an operator of mean or median (compared to a max or min for an additive bias).
- NxN which is used, after interpolation, to find the value of the bias seen by each fiber.
- Mosaic reconstruction can consist of distributing over the entire surface of each zone of the acquired image, the flux value of each zone obtained following the calibration step. We can then perform a recursive low-pass filtering in order to smooth the reconstructed acquired image.
- Figure 2 is a flowchart detailing the main steps of a calibration process according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart detailing the main steps of a measurement process according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart detailing the final steps taking into account the calibration and measurement processes for the reconstruction of an image acquired without apparent optical fibers according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a global diagram of the method according to the invention.
- the process can be split into four parts: part 1 for fiber detection, part 2 for calibration, part 3 for measurement, and part 4 for reconstruction.
- Parts 1 and 2 correspond to the diagram in Figure 2
- part 3 corresponds to the diagram in Figure 3
- Part 4 corresponds to the diagram in Figure 4.
- a calibration step is first carried out.
- a control image 5 which is subjected to a fiber detection step 6 so as to obtain an image 7 of the connected components representing each fiber.
- the control image 5 is an image acquired by means of a system comprising a guide consisting of a plurality of optical fibers from 10,000 to 30,000 for example.
- the control image 5 is obtained in such a way that the pattern of the optical fibers is distinguished, that is to say of the "egg box" type: on the profile of the image, a fiber resulting in a small mountain surrounded by pass and valley.
- the control image 5 undergoes a fiber detection operation so as to obtain a sort of mask representing the pattern of the optical fibers.
- This mask is image 7 of the connected components representing each fiber.
- Image 7 is then used for calibration 2 of the image acquisition system.
- the purpose of the calibration is to determine an image of the injection rates of fiber-to-fiber photons. This calibration step is necessary since each fiber has slightly different physical properties from the other fibers. There is therefore a certain disparity concerning the capacity of each optical fiber to carry the same photon flux.
- an image 8 below called the mirror image obtained by placing the mirror in front of the optical system of the image guide.
- This image can also be that of a homogeneous diffusing medium, a homogeneous fluorescent medium, or of the own backscattering inside the bundle of optical fibers.
- This image 8 can also be the same image used in 5, that is to say the control image.
- the mask 7 is used to determine the photon flux of the mirror image 8 seen by each optical fiber during step 9.
- This image 10 can correspond to parasitic reflections on the optics of the acquisition system, but also to the offset and / or the electronic noise due to the digitization chain of the system acquisition.
- step 11 also involves the mask 7 so as to identify the zone corresponding to each fiber.
- step 12 for each optical fiber, the photon value of the mirror image 8 is subtracted by the photon flux value of the background image 10.
- step 13 it is estimated that for each optical fiber , the difference obtained in step 12 corresponds to the standard injection rate for each fiber (step 13).
- step 14 a bias correction is performed on the image of step 13.
- the image resulting from step 14 is therefore an image having, for each zone corresponding to an optical fiber, a flux value of standard and corrected photon.
- This image from step 14 will serve as a reference for a series of images acquired in real time by the acquisition system.
- the images acquired and processed in real time undergo the processing illustrated in parts 3 and 4.
- the measurement part 3 receives an acquired image 15, typically the image of a measurement object.
- the photon flux seen by each fiber is also calculated here in step 18 with regard to the acquired image 15.
- the mask 7 is used so as to identify on the 'acquired image 15, the zone corresponding to each optical fiber.
- a parasitic background image 16 is considered as before, which can be an image. real, that is to say corresponding to the background of the acquired image 15 or else an estimated image corresponding to the noise of the acquisition system.
- This background image 16 also undergoes a step
- Step 19 is an optional step during which a bias correction is made on image 20.
- the reconstruction part 4 receives on the one hand the corrected image 20 and on the other hand the corrected (biased) image 13 so as to perform a calibration operation 22 by dividing the fluxes of the object observed ( element from step 21) by the standard flows (element from step 14). In step 22, a reconstruction is also carried out so as to obtain a reconstructed image 23 without any apparent optical fiber pattern.
- a calibration operation 22 by dividing the fluxes of the object observed ( element from step 21) by the standard flows (element from step 14).
- a reconstruction is also carried out so as to obtain a reconstructed image 23 without any apparent optical fiber pattern.
- Figure 2 we see in more detail the process 1 of fiber detection and the calibration process 2. The operation
- 6 fiber detection involves four operations: a pre-filtering, a "watershed" LPE corresponding to a segmentation by region; correction of segments having an abnormally large area; and correcting segments having an abnormally small area.
- the two correction operations are interchangeable, and can also be performed in a loop.
- the pre-filtering operation 61 receives as input the control image 5 and generates an image of the fibers filtered from these maxima local, and smoothed at the inter-fiber areas.
- Pre-filtering involves a morphological opening operation, possibly followed by an anisotropic scalar type diffusion, then by an inversion of the image.
- the image generated by the pre-filtering 61 then undergoes a watershed operation 62, making it possible to obtain an image of the connected components of the fibers detected.
- Operation 63 is a correction of segments having an abnormally large area. To do this, we select the segments which are both too large compared to an average size and which have too many neighbors compared to a normal surface of the fibers. These segments are re-segmented with a watershed either on the original image or on a distance map image inside the detected segments (in a segment, distance between each pixel and the edge of the segment). Then, we calculate the characteristics of the segments obtained (average size, standard deviation of sizes).
- the segments having an abnormally small surface are corrected.
- the set of possible mergers is the set of mergers with each neighbor.
- the second filter checks that the compactness after fusion does not not exceed a maximum value.
- the second correction 64 makes it possible to generate the image of the connected components which will serve as a mask for the calibration 2 and the measurement 3.
- the right part of Figure 2 relates to a calibration process 2 as shown in Figure 1 but in a simplified manner. In fact, in FIG. 2, the optional operations 10 and 11 do not appear.
- the masking step 91 consists in locating on the mirror image 8, the zone or surface corresponding to each optical fiber of the guide. Image 7 of the related components serves as a mask.
- step 92 for each optical fiber, the flux originating from the object observed is calculated. The flux is calculated using the maximum likelihood estimator determined on the specific injection profile of each optical fiber.
- a bias correction is made as will be seen in more detail in FIG. 3.
- the measurement process according to the invention is distinguished. This process takes place in real time.
- the zone corresponding to each optical fiber is identified by carrying out a masking operation 181 by means of the mask 7.
- the flux coming from the object observed is calculated for each fiber. As before, the calculation is carried out using the maximum likelihood estimator determined on the specific injection profile of each optical fiber.
- the same masking operations 171 and flow calculation 172 are carried out on a parasitic background image 16.
- step 19 for each zone corresponding to an optical fiber, the background flux (172) is subtracted from the flux of the acquired image (182). If the background image is not provided and this background exists, it must be subtracted, an offset and / or electronic noise of the measurement system is then calculated using a quantile on the histogram of the acquired image 15
- a bias correction on the image resulting from the subtraction 19 In this case, the zones corresponding to the fibers are spatially separated at 211 into different blocks. In each of these blocks, the value of the bias is calculated in 212 using a given operator. Then in 213, the values of the bias are interpolated in order to obtain a value for each fiber. In 214, the value of the flux seen by each fiber is then divided by the value of the bias obtained.
- an image 25 is generated representing the flux observed for each fiber.
- the final reconstruction step takes into account the image of the standard injection rate 24 and the observed flow image 25.
- the purpose of the calibration operation is to compensate for the injection losses by equalizing the injection rate of all the optical fibers so as to have an image of which all the fibers have been injected in the same way. For this, the image of observed flow 25 is divided into 221 by the image of the injection rate 24.
- a mosaic reconstruction is then carried out by distributing in step 222 over the entire surface corresponding to each fiber the value obtained after calibration (division).
- a Gaussian low pass filtering 223 for example.
