    摘要: Apparatus and method for performing dual-energy x-ray imaging using two-dimensional detectors. The apparatus consists of, in physical order, an x-ray source, a front two-dimensional x-ray detector, a beam selector, and a rear two-dimensional x-ray detector. The subject is located between the x-ray source and front detector. The beam selector prevents primary x-rays from reaching selected locations of the rear detector. A pair of primary dual-energy images is obtained at the rear detector. Using a dual-energy data decomposition method, a low-resolution primary x-ray front detector image is calculated, from which a high-resolution primary dual-energy image pair is calculated. In addition, the data decomposition method can be used to calculate a pair of high-spatial-resolution material composition images.

    摘要: Apparatus for deflecting light beams tends either to be slow (electromechanical) or to have a narrow range of deflection. Here a light beam can be dynamically controlled to approach ±90° in pitch and yaw. The device comprises an initial dynamic beam deflector 14 and a compound light beam direction mapper 16. The beam direction mapper 16 includes a beam size reducer 18, a beam transmission adapter 20, and a projector 22. An initial light beam 24 from a light source 12 is deflected by a small angle θ 0 by the initial dynamic beam deflector 14. The initially deflected light beam 26 is focused by the beam size reducer 18 to a light energy spot 48 on the beam transmission adapter 20, which transfers the light spot to the projector 22. The projector 22 emits an output light beam at the far field 38 of its output space 34 with an output deflection angle θ larger than the initial deflection angle θ 0 . All components are based on classical geometrical optics and the energy of the output light beam 32 can be within an order of magnitude of that of the input light beam 24. The adaptor 20 can be, for instance, a fiber-optic plate or a positive lens assembly, and the projector a specialty sphere lens or camera-type lens system.

    摘要: Embodiments of an active or laser polarimeter are disclosed that transmit multiple independent and tunable temporally-multiplexed polarization states and record or image, at video rates if necessary, the polarized intensity or irradiance reflected or transmitted by objects illuminated by those states, and apply the recorded data to material and/or object classification and recognition using classification algorithms that exploit features of polarization signatures dependent on material type, texture, and/or object shape. The polarimeter also generally records and utilizes one or more passive polarization measurements in order to realize a hybrid active-passive polarimeter. The polarimeter channels are configured and tuned to access multi-dimensional signature spaces specified by existing signature models and/or measurements, with polarization-modulator settings derived by a newly-disclosed subspace-projection algorithm that maximizes a target contrast parameter. Multiple independent polarization channels allow the new polarimeter to outperform conventional two-channel polarimeters, while the subspace-projection algorithm allows the number of channels to be minimized in order to minimize sensor size, weight, and power (SWaP) and maximize speed. Multiple channels are realized by multiplexing among independent transmitter polarization states with one or more high-speed multiplexers, in one embodiment a set of fold-mirror assemblies in the transmitter among which the laser beam is switched by one or more galvanometer scanners fitted in one embodiment with a newly-disclosed composite mirror. The method for material and object classification and recognition includes the maximally-biased classifier derived by the subspace-projection algorithm applied to a single target Mueller matrix, and methods to generalize the classifier.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for eliminating scatter effects in x-ray imaging using two-dimensional detector arrays is disclosed. The apparatus consits of an x-ray source (14), a front two-dimensional x-ray detector (16), a beam selector (18), and a rear two-dimensional x-ray detector (26). A substantially improved dual-energy method is presented. Based on this method, the primary image of the front detector (16) is calculated from a pair of primary dual-energy images of the rear detector (26). Subsequently, the low resolution scatter image of the front detector (16) is determined and the high resolution scatter image of the front detector (16) is calculated. Embodiments of this invention provide a method for elimination of scatter and a method for dual energy x-ray imaging.
