Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Image Processing
Geometric Distortion Correction

Background:

X-ray Image Intensifier (XRII) images are crucial for various clinical applications.
Geometric distortions in XRII images reduce their reliability and accuracy.
Accurate correction of these distortions is essential for dependable clinical use.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel hybrid mathematical approximation method for correcting geometric distortions in XRII images.
To improve the accuracy and reliability of XRII image application in clinical settings.

Main Methods:

A hybrid method integrating Moving Least-Squares (MLS) and Multilevel B-spline Approximation (MBA), termed MLSMBA, was developed.
MLS generated denser virtual data points from sparse original data.

MBA approximated the ultimate mapping function using both original and generated data points.

Main Results:

The MLSMBA method demonstrated insensitivity to pincushion and sigmoidal distortions, unlike traditional methods.
MLSMBA showed lower or comparable sensitivity to local distortion compared to global approximation methods.
MLSMBA achieved higher overall distortion correction accuracy, with residual errors as low as 0.248 ± 0.236 pixels on real XRII images.

Conclusions:

The MLSMBA method is a superior choice for correcting geometric distortion in XRII images.
It is particularly effective when pincushion, sigmoidal, and local distortions coexist.
MLSMBA is beneficial when dealing with limited control points and when reusability of the correction mapping function is desired.
