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 representing an image of the obstructed object.

Claim (Index 51):
A system for imaging an obstructed object in an image, the system comprising:\n an input port for receiving a base image comprising pixels, each representing a captured signal from a source emitting a source signal I 0 ; a locating module embedded in a processor, the processor being in communication with the input port for locating a region of interest in the base image wherein the pixels represent a combined signal I 3  having traversed the obstructed object and said obstructive layer; a memory for providing a layer signal I 2  representing a signal having traversed the obstructive layer outside of said region of interest; a calculator embedded in the processor, for isolating an original signal I 1  in said region of interest, by removing for each pixel in said region of interest, the layer signal I 2  from the combined signal I 3 , on the basis of said source signal I 0 , the resulting original signal I 1  representing an image of the obstructed object; and a display screen for displaying a resulting image from said original signals I 1 , wherein the region of interest reveals the obstructed object.
