How to highlight the cone structure.

Ke Jiang
Hello all,

I'm new to ImageJ and hope that someone can give me some advice on what
I am doing.  I'm trying to highlight the cone structure in the
superposed picture from different frames. One is able to identify the
'V' structure via naked eyes. However after testing different threshold,
I am still not able to obtain a clear cone structure.

The sample picture is downloadable via googlepages :

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

Jayson

Hi Jason,

you will mainly need smoothing algorithms.
Here is what I tried:

//elimiate horizontal lines
   run("Convolve...", "text1=1\n2\n1\n normalize");

//then eliminate outliers
   run("Median...", "radius=4.5");

//the following needs the "Thresholded Blur" edge-preserving plugin from
// http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/imagej-documentation-wiki/plugins/ 
thresholded-blur
   run("Thresholded Blur", "radius=5 threshold=50 softness=0.50  
strength=1");

//If you want, you may choose to increse the strength of the bars of  
the "V":
run("Unsharp Mask...", "radius=10 mask=0.3");

Then you can try thresholding.
You can easily eliminate the remaining small blobs based on
their size (use "Analyze particles").

Hope this helps,

Michael
