摘要:
One or more systems and/or techniques are provided to identify and/or classify objects of interest (e.g., potential granular objects) from a radiographic examination of the object. Image data of the object is transformed using a spectral transformation, such as a Fourier transformation, to generate image data in a spectral domain. Using the image data in the spectral domain, one or more one-dimensional spectral signatures can be generated and features of the signatures can be extracted and compared to features of one or more known objects. If one or more features of the signatures correspond (e.g., within a predetermined tolerance) to the features of a known object to which the feature(s) is compared, the object of interest may be identified and/or classified based upon the correspondence.

摘要:
Representations of an object 110 in an image generated by an imaging apparatus 100 can comprise one or more potential compound objects 500, where a compound object comprises two or more separate sub-objects. Compound objects can negatively affect the quality of object visualization and/or make identifying threat objects more difficult, for example. Accordingly, as provided herein, a representation of a potential compound object 500 can be examined for separation into sub-objects. To do so, three-dimensional image data of a potential compound object 500 is projected to generate one or more Eigen projections 504, and segmentation is performed on the two-dimensional Eigen projection(s) to identify sub-objects. Once sub-objects are identified, the segmented Eigen projection(s) 900 is back-projected into three-dimensional space 1104 for further processing, for example.
摘要:
Radiation flux can be adjusted “on the fly” as an object (204) is being scanned in a security examination apparatus. Adjustments are made to the radiation flux based upon radiation incident on a first radiation detector (226) in an upstream portion (233) of an examination region. The object under examination is thus exposed to different radiation flux in coordination with a downstream motion (235) of the object relative to a second radiation detector (228). The radiation flux is adjusted so that a sufficient number of x-rays (that traverse the object) are incident on the second radiation detector. Images of the object can then be generated based upon data from the second radiation detector, where these images are thus of a desired/higher quality.

摘要:
A position of a center detector of a radiation scanner can be determined without shutting down the scanner and/or manually positioning a phantom in the scanning field of the scanner. A phantom, comprising a target, is scanned to create an axial image of the phantom. The target is masked in the axial image, producing a masked axial image of the phantom. The masked axial image is reprojected in projection space, and the axial reprojection is compared to an axial projection or a rebinned axial projection of the phantom that was used to create the axial image. A target axial projection of data related to the masked target, created from the comparison of the axial projection or the rebinned axial projection and the axial reprojection, is used to determine the position of the center detector.
