Image Enhancement Parameters

Image Sharpening

The image sharpening process overcomes some capture, processing and other effects in an image. Sharpening filter settings are defined in the table below:

Setting	Range	Description
Weight	0.1 to 10.0	Filter strength. A higher value applies to a stronger filter
Core size	0.5 to 10.0	Magnitude of the image feature being analyzed, as a percentage of the kernel size. Smaller values sharpen lines by can enhance noise. Larger values reduce noise but can blur lines
Kernel size	1.5 to 10.0	Size of the processing matrix in unit size. Larger kernel sizes increase processing time
Size unit	Pixel	Setting unit size

Image Smoothing

Image smoothing reduces the noise in an image to smooth out transitions between data points. Smoothing filter settings are defined in the table below:

Setting	Range	Description
Size	1.0 to 10.0	Size of the processing matrix in unit size.
Size Unit	Pixel	Setting unit size.

Edge Detection

The edge detection algorithm identifies significant changes in the image data, which typically occur along the edges of the anatomical structure in the image. Edge detection filter settings are defined in the table below:

Setting	Range	Description
Weight	-100 to +100	Filter strength. A higher value applies to a stronger filter.
Core Size	0.5 to 10.0	Magnitude of the image feature being analyzed, as a percentage of the kernel size. Smaller values sharpen lines by can enhance noise. Larger values reduce noise but can blur lines.
Kernel Size	1.5 to 10.0	Size of the processing matrix in unit size. Larger kernel sizes increase processing time.
Size Unit	Pixel	Setting unit size.
