Abstract

An image processing method has been developed for processing multiple images of x-ray micro-radiography. An x-ray micro-radiography image reflects quantum mottle so that its information content may tends to be corrupted. Therefore, a digital processing method has been developed to reduce the effect of quantum mottle as well as reducing the noise level. A set of radiographs are collected then summed. An image subtraction by a background image is carried out prior to the summation process. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) after processing are compared with the SNR and CNR prior to the processing. As a result the final image for small specimen under x-ray micro-radiography inspection is better than original image without processing based on SNR and CNR assessments.
