Abstract
Digital capture with consumer digital still camera of the radiographic film significantly decreases the dynamic range and, hence, the details visibility. We propose a method that boosts the dynamic range of the processed X-ray image based on the fusion of a set of digital images acquired under different exposure values. The fusion is controlled by a fuzzy-like confidence information and the luminance range is over-sampled by using logarithmic image processing operators.
