Method and apparatus for image content-based automatic brightness detection

摘要

A method and apparatus for image automatic brightness detection. The method includes determining region of interest (ROI) candidates in an image, extracting features from each of the ROI candidates, selecting the optimum ROI based on weighted score of each of the ROI candidate, and calculating brightness value of the selected optimum ROI candidate as brightness feedback. The method and apparatus for image automatic brightness detection according to embodiments of the present invention, can automatically detect the point of interest for clinicians, and then provide a more accurate feedback to the imaging system, in order to provide a more efficient dose management in the imaging system and thus to achieve constant image quality without wasting any dose, thereby further optimizing the dose/IQ performance and the high efficient utilization of the system.
