Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are described for inspecting an object, such as a tire. The system comprises a radiation imaging system configured to examine the object via radiation to generate a radiation image depicting an interior aspect of the object and a machine vision system configured to measure visible light and/or infrared wavelengths to generate a vision image depicting an exterior aspect of the object. The radiation image and the vision image may be correlated to facilitate an inspection of the object which includes an inspection of the exterior aspect as well as the interior aspect.

Abstract: A reinforcement cord which comprises a first fiber (302) having a first radiation attenuation coefficient. The reinforcement cord also comprises a contrast agent applied to the first fiber. The contrast agent has a second radiation attenuation coefficient that is different (e.g., greater) than that of the first radiation attenuation coefficient. In some embodiments, the reinforcement cord is incorporated into a composite product, such as a tire. In some embodiments, the contrast agent improves and/or enhances the discernibility of the reinforcement cord in a composite product during a radiation examination, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan. A method of manufacturing the reinforcement cord is also disclosed.
