Abstract: An image processing method and an image processing apparatus which remove the effects of cosmic rays, noise and defective pixels without losing data in a specified time and which can correct image data efficiently and with high accuracy are provided. An image processing method of performing correction processing on an abnormal value of X-ray image data is provided which includes the steps of: (S3) determining whether or not there exists a target element with intensity significantly different from intensity of peripheral elements, in a three dimensional space formed with a space axis and a time axis defined by a series of captured image frames; and (S9) replacing the intensity of the target element with a replacement value calculated from the intensity of peripheral elements.

Abstract: There is provided an X-ray diffraction apparatus configured to irradiate a sample S on a sample stage with X-rays generated from an X-ray source and detect the X-rays diffracted by a sample using a detector, including a virtual mask setting section and a signal processing section. The detector outputs detection signals according to intensity of the X-rays received by detection elements, for each of the plurality of detection elements forming a detection surface. The virtual mask setting section is capable of setting a virtual mask on the detection surface of the detector, and setting at least an opening dimension of the virtual mask as an opening condition of the virtual mask independently in an X direction and a Y direction. The signal processing section processes the detection signals outputted from the detector according to the opening condition of the virtual mask set in the virtual mask setting section.

Abstract: An X-ray analysis apparatus converts an X-ray intensity distribution of discrete data determined for each pixel, from a first plane where the distribution is known into a second plane where the distribution is not known. The X-ray analysis apparatus projects onto the second plane, a grid point which specifies a pixel on the first plane and an intermediate point between the grid points, as nodes, calculates an area of a region where a polygon expressing a projected pixel specified by the projected nodes overlaps with each pixel on the second plane, to thereby calculate an occupancy ratio of the polygon expressing the projected pixel to each pixel on the second plane and distributes X-ray intensity in the pixel on the first plane to the pixel on the second plane based on the occupancy ratio, to thereby convert the X-ray intensity distribution.
