Loop centering by INOCC. After blurring and binarization of the captured image with OpenCV (Bradski, 2000), the program recognizes the left edge of the loop and translates it to the X-ray irradiation point at rotation angles of 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. After convergence of the process, the face angle where the face of the loop is perpendicular to the X-rays is found. Finally, the program moves the loop to the left by a half-length of the user-defined loop size along the rotation axis. |
