5.15 X_ray

This menu groups items useful during the processing of digitised X-ray images and mosaic assemblys.

Clone_section
Designed to replaces data losts under lead numbers used to identify X-ray plates, from a second overlapping image. The function operates on two 8-bit mono images. Move and resize the region on the first image to define the area around the white number. Move the region on the second to overlapping area. A section of the area on the second image is cloned and blended into the first image. The amount of the defined area to be cloned in defined by a slider within the output image.

Balance_structure
Balance the effect of secondary structure on an X-ray image. The function takes an X-ray image an 8-bit control mask (defining the areas unaffected by the secondary structure) and a list of 8-bit reference masks, (defining the seperate sections of the secondary structure, where the masks are white on a black background. Then balances the original X-ray to reduce interference from stretchers cradles etc.

Mask_combine
Combines a group of white on black images and then blurs the edges.
