Infiltrate Object Extraction in X-ray Image by Using Math-Morphology Method and Feature Region Analysis

Abstract

Abstract-Infiltrate is often called as pulmonary vlek for there are white spotteds on the lung. White spotted could be in form of liquid, condensation, or uncircumcised. The liquid is emerge from blood or suppuration. To detect the existence of infiltrate on the lung, it could be done by doing X-ray Thorax checkup. To observe the infiltrate on x-ray thorax image is unable to be seen by every people, but it is done by experts such as radiologists or the pulmonary experts by doing conscientious research. The research was done by extracting the infiltrate object on x-ray thorax image of tuberculosis patient to clarify the object. The research stage that was done on x-ray thorax image is by detecting the object with segmentation morphology process which consist of dilation and erosion morphology, and side detection by decreasing the value of dilation and erosion morphology. The next stage is extracting the infiltrate object by using binarization and feature region analysis to ommit the unspotted part and determine the infiltrate object from the amount of existing objects. The result of infiltrate object extraction, then, is being calculated for both number and width of each side of lung by using feature region analysis. The result indicates that infiltrate object extraction is able to show an image with the explicit infiltrate object. The result trials of 40 x-ray thorax image on tuberculosis patients proved that the well-extracted images are able to be determined whether on its position, total, and width of infiltrates on lung. The trials of 2 x-ray thorax image on healthy patients are also done as comparisons, and the result indicates that there is no infiltrate objects on both sides of lung.

Photoacoustic for Oral Soft Tissue Imaging based on Intensity Modulated Continuous-Wave Diode Laser

“…X-ray imaging modalities are the most widely used by dentists to examine teeth, jaw, and maxillofacial structures [4], but these modalities cannot serve adequate information about oral and maxillofacial soft tissue. To overcome the limitation, previous studies had also developed digital image processing such as image enhancement [5] and edge detection [6] for X-ray images to assist dental and medical practitioners in identifying disease and abnormalities in hard tissue and soft tissue.…”

Review on Local Binary Patterns Variants as Texture Descriptors for Copy-Move Forgery Detection

“…Feature extraction method is very important in detecting forgery. Feature extraction aims to compute the specific representation of the data that can highlight relevant information [1]. Besides, it is a useful tool for removing irrelevant or redundant information and reducing feature dimensionality [16].…”

“…Compared to word, image can explain any situation in much better form as it enables us to understand vividly. Nowadays, images had been the convenient way to express and transmit information in the field of medical imaging [1], law enforcement and forensic investigation. However, the availability of various powerful computer applications such as Adobe Photoshop, GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and Paint.NET, cause the authenticity of an image to be questioned as forgery over an image can be performed easily and frequently but very difficult to identify.…”

Image Processing of Panoramic Dental X-Ray for Identifying Proximal Caries

“…Because the teeth are assembled in one group, then the cropping process required two coordinate points. The first coordinate point determines the upper left position (the position of the patient's right or [R] ight) and the second one determines lower right position of the cropped area (left position patients) [23,24]. The cropping process results can be seen in The result of cropping process on input image in Figure 3 can be seen in Figure 5.…”
