An Application of Computer Image Processing to the Clarification of X-ray Images of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry

Abstract

Relation between the intensity of X-ray signal and the quality of the X-ray image with the energy dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) was analyzed with the application of statistics. One of effective methods to improve the quality of EDS X-ray image is found to be the application of a smoothing treatment of moving average to the digitized EDS X-ray image using a computer image processing.
