Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper aims to show how the desirable characteristics of xeroradiography (which is no longer readily available for the examination of archaeological finds and other cultural artefacts) can be reproduced through the application of digital image processing to good-quality X-ray film images. Radiographs with optimum resolution, image contrast and exposure latitude, and reduced levels of scatter, are gained through the careful selection of X-ray energy and beam filtration, or with high-energy X-rays and the judicious use of lead screen intensifiers. The edge-enhancement potential of some currently available computer software is explored. Details are provided of basic edge-detection kernels and how they are applied to digitised images to provide edge enhancement. | |
