Abstract:
A method for obtaining a digitized overall radiographic picture of an object from a succession of partially overlapping primary radiographic pictures taken from different points of view comprising the steps of:(a) creating from each primary image a digitized secondary image which promotes predetermined elements of interest of the object;(b) carrying out digital processing for two-dimensional mutual resetting of the secondary images per pair of consecutive images so as to obtain mutually reset digitized secondary images;(c) for each current reset secondary image a region common to the current image and to the following reset secondary image which is bounded by two respective median horizontal lines of the two reset secondary images; and(d) creating a the digitized overall radiographic picture is from the upper region of the first reset secondary image of the succession, lying above the common region of the first image, from the lower region of the last reset secondary image of the succession, lying below the common region of the last image, and from the common regions of each pair of reset secondary images.
