Popis: An analysis of the input to image processing systems is presented for input images recorded on radiographic film. The effects of combining simple structural elements to produce complex images are discussed. Mathematical models for idealized radiographic images of ribs, pulmonary nodules, and blood vessels are formulated and the effect of various combinations of these models on the frequency spectra of the complex image is examined in detail. The validity of these theoretical predictions is demonstrated by using a radiograph of real structures. The implication of these results for image processing by matched filters is discussed.
