Abstract
The fuzzy entropy algorithm was designed for preprocessing of photos taken in the visible spectrum of light. However it did not produce satisfying results when it is directly applied to X-ray pictures. In this paper we present significant improvements of this approach and apply it to hand radiographs. The noise elimination and the bone contourisation is the task which is studied in this paper. Not only is the algorithm modified but also it is combined with using of median and minimum filters. The presented approach allows us to obtain satisfying noise elimination and clear bone contourisation. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
