具有高空间分辨率的脑内源性信号光学成像术是研究大脑皮层功能构筑的有力工具。针对非常微弱的内源性光学信号的提取,本文首先讨论了其噪声来源和基于生理结构原因的信号特征;然后根据由标准化处理得到的功能图像的二阶统计量分析结果,提出了自适应滤波窗口设计:使用非线性中值空域滤波,对含有不同特征的图像区域,分别采取不同的滤波窗口进行处理。图像处理结果表明,该算法去除噪声的效果优良,并能够保留皮层功能柱结构的细节特征。
Optical imaging based on intrinsic signals is a powerful technology for studying functional architecture of the cortex in a large scale for its highest spatial resolution among in vivo brain research.For effectively extracting the endogenous weak optical signal,we analyzed the sources of noise and the signal characteristics in view of the anatomical structures of the brain,and presented an adaptive filter windows design based on second-order statistical analysis of the standardized functional image,then a nonlinear median filtering procedure was applied to smooth different filter windows.Our results show that this algorithm can keep more image details with effective noise reduction.
