Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Vision
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • High-resolution image processing with neural networks often involves slicing images into patches.
  • Patch-based processing can lead to blocking artifacts due to zero-padding during convolution, impacting feature accuracy at patch edges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel fusion method for mitigating blocking artifacts in patch-stitched high-resolution images.
  • To improve the quality of reconstructed images by addressing feature information loss at patch boundaries.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a fusion method assigning weights to pixels within image patches using a truncated Gaussian function.
  • Transformed Euclidean distance from patch center into weight coefficients, decreasing with distance.
  • Reconstructed images by applying these calculated weights.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method effectively removed blocking artifacts in both simulated (BrainWeb) and real (Human Connectome Project) datasets.
  • Evaluations using bias correction and denoising models demonstrated superior performance compared to five existing fusion methods.
  • Achieved smoother bias fields and improved image quality.

Conclusions:

  • The developed weighting-based fusion method is highly effective in eliminating blocking artifacts in neural network-processed high-resolution images.
  • This approach offers a significant improvement over current state-of-the-art fusion techniques for image reconstruction.
