Abstract:
A technique for enhancing an image includes manipulating a base image to highlight pixels showing a particular material based on the energy absorption information of each pixel. In another technique, pixels in a base image are each converted to an output value to produce a converted image. Another technique allows imaging an obstructed object within a base image which is made of pixels, each representing a captured signal from a source emitting a source signal I 0 . An obstruction region contains pixels representing a combined signal I 3  having traversed the obstructed object and an obstructive layer. Knowing a layer signal I 2  representing a signal having traversed the obstructive layer outside of the obstruction region, the layer signal I 2  may be removed from the combined signal I 3 , in order to reveal the original signal I 1  representing an image of the obstructed object.

Claim (Index 18):
A system for detecting a material in an object, the system comprising:\n an input port for receiving a base image of the object comprising one or more material to be detected, the base image being composed of pixels, each pixel comprising energy absorption information; a memory for providing one or more reference value, each representing an energy absorption of a reference material; a material detection module embedded in a processor, the processor being in communication with the input port and the memory, for transforming the base image by highlighting each of said pixels of which the energy absorption information correlates with one of said reference material stored in the memory, based on a comparison of the energy absorption information of each pixel with said one or more reference value stored in the memory, in order to produce a detection-enhanced image; and a display screen being in communication with the processor, for displaying the detection-enhanced image having highlighted pixels corresponding to said one or more material to be detected.
