Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lung image processing, in particular to a lung CT image nodule screening method based on generalized S transform and Teager attribute. Background technique [0002] The generalized S transform is a time-frequency analysis method. For non-stationary signals, the time-frequency analysis method can analyze the frequency components of the signal and locate the position of the frequency components; The Liye transform has better time-frequency resolution, no interference from Wigner-Ville cross terms, and has a wider adjustable frequency resolution than the S-transform. Therefore, the generalized S-transform has better flexibility and higher time-frequency resolution. [0003] The Teager main energy attribute is based on the improvement of the Teager-Kaiser (TK) energy, which can track and extract the local energy transformation of the signal. Compared with the disadvantage of TK energy that can only be calculated in a ...
