FEINFOCUS Graphical User Interface (FGUI) software version 2.2 offers real-time background subtraction. Background subtraction reduces shading in x-ray imagery, a common problem in x-ray inspection that limits image contrast.
Shading appears as a slight fading of intensity from the image center toward the periphery, the degree of which depends largely on the sample or structure being x-rayed. The FGUI enables users to activate an automatic background subtraction process, loading a previously produced background image from one of the many buffers available. The gray values of the background image are automatically subtracted from those of the active x-ray image in real-time -optimizing image contrast and facilitating interpretation of the inspection results.
The inspection software has several new capabilities, including an AVI recorder, 16-bit image processing, seamless integration of Direct Digital Detectors (DDD) and image saving in a variety of formats (e.g. TIF, BMP and JPG). New image-processing operators have also been added, such as an electronic film operator.
