Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image correction method includes detecting signals emitted from a tracer introduced into a target; intermittently extracting some of the detected signals according to a code string in which different codes are arranged; generating an image of the target using the extracted signals; and correcting the generated image based on at least one characteristic of the generated image.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image correction method comprising: detecting signals emitted from a tracer introduced into a target; matching the detected signals to codes in a code string in a one-to-one correspondence; extracting detected signals of time periods corresponding to the first codes in the code string from the detected signals; generating an image of the target using the extracted signals; and correcting the generated image based on at least one characteristic of…
