Title Anisotropic processing of image structures for adventitia detection in intravascular ultrasound images Type Conference Article
Year 2004 Publication Proc. Computers in Cardiology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 31 Issue Pages 229-232

Abstract The adventitia layer appears as a weak edge in IVUS images with a non-uniform grey level, which difficulties its detection. In order to enhance edges, we apply an anisotropic filter that homogenizes the grey level along the image significant structures (ridges, valleys and edges). A standard edge detector applied to the filtered image yields a set of candidate points prone to be unconnected. The final model is obtained by interpolating the former line segments along the tangent direction to the level curves of the filtered image with an anisotropic contour closing technique based on functional extension principles
