Detailed Description

template<typename elemT>
class stir::GammaArrayFilter2D< elemT >

Gamma correction filter for 2D slices in a 3D volume.

This filter enhances image contrast by adjusting pixel intensities using gamma correction. The algorithm operates on each 2D slice (axial direction) independently and involves:

1. Normalization: Each pixel value in the slice is normalized to [0, 1]:

   

   where min_val and max_val are the minimum and maximum pixel values in the slice.
2. Average Pixel Value Calculation: The filter computes the average pixel value across all pixels in the normalized slice that have absolute values greater than 0.1. This average value is used to determine the gamma exponent.
3. Gamma Calculation: Determines the gamma exponent using:

   

   where 0.25 is the target average intensity level for contrast adjustment.
4. Gamma Correction: Adjusts pixel values using:

   

5. Rescaling: Converts the corrected values back to their original range:

   

Edge Handling

• The filter processes each 2D slice independently and does not apply padding. Therefore, the edges of the slices are fully processed without boundary effects.

Gamma Filter Configuration

This filter is fully automated and does not require any parameters. To enable it in the reconstruction process, include the following in the parameter file:

post-filter type := Gamma
Gamma Filter Parameters :=
End Gamma Filter Parameters :=

Note

This filter operates on each axial slice independently, and does not take into account neighboring slices. It is effectively a 2D filter applied slice-by-slice on a 3D volume.

Should return true when the operations won't modify the object at all.

For the 2 argument version, elements in out_array will be set to corresponding elements in in_array. Elements in out_array that do not occur in in_array will be set to 0.
