Noise Reduction in Flash X-ray Imaging Using Deep LearningSundman, Tobias January 2018 (has links)
Recent improvements in deep learning architectures, combined with the strength of modern computing hardware such as graphics processing units, has lead to significant results in the field of image analysis. In this thesis work, locally connected architectures are employed to reduce noise in flash X-ray diffraction images. The layers in these architectures use convolutional kernels, but without shared weights. This combines the benefits of lower model memory footprint in convolutional networks with the higher model capacity of fully connected networks. Since the camera used to capture the diffraction images has pixelwise unique characteristics, and thus lacks equivariance, this compromise can be beneficial. The background images of this thesis work were generated with an active laser but without injected samples. Artificial diffraction patterns were then added to these background images allowing for training U-Net architectures to separate them. Architecture A achieved a performance of 0.187 on the test set, roughly translating to 35 fewer photon errors than a model similar to state of the art. After smoothing the photon errors this performance increased to 0.285, since the U-Net architectures managed to remove flares where state of the art could not. This could be taken as a proof of concept that locally connected networks are able to separate diffraction from background in flash X-Ray imaging.
