Abstract
A system includes obtaining de-noised reconstructed image data and edge improving a sub-set of the de-noised reconstructed image data corresponding to edges of structure represented in the de-noise reconstructed image data. A system () includes an edge detector () that detects an edge map of edge locations within de-noised reconstructed image data, a noise image data generator () that generates noise image data by subtracting the reconstructed image data by the de-noised reconstructed image data, a noisy edge image data generator () that generates noisy edge image data by multiplying the noise image data and the edge map, and an edge improver () that generates edge improved de-noised image data by adding the noisy edge image data and a product of a weight and the de-noised reconstructed image data.
