IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351647 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that generates images representing the thickness of different materials using different radiation energies. It also obtains an enhanced image where a third material is highlighted.
- Image processing apparatus generates images representing thickness of different materials using different radiation energies
- First combination of radiation energies used to generate first and second images representing thickness of first and second materials
- Second combination of radiation energies used to generate third and fourth images representing thickness of first and second materials
- Obtaining unit obtains enhanced image by enhancing a third material different from the first and second materials
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes: a generation unit configured to generate a first image representing a thickness of a first material and a second image representing a thickness of a second material different from the first material using a plurality of images obtained based on a first combination of different radiation energies, and to generate a third image representing the thickness of the first material and a fourth image representing the thickness of the second material using a plurality of images obtained based on a second combination of different radiation energies; and an obtaining unit configured to obtain, using one of the first image and the second image and one of the third image and the fourth image, an enhanced image in which a third material different from the first material and the second material is enhanced.
