Cargo Container X-ray Inspection Systems
OVERVIEW: Container inspection is categorized into three stages. In the initial stage, large-size X-ray DR (digital radiography) is used to inspect full containers sitting on their trailers. If that inspection identifies suspicious cargo, the trailer and container are relocated to a nearby inspection position for opening the container and inspecting all cargo inside. In the second stage, small-...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Mass Attenuation Coefficient for Composites Containing Nano and Micro-Particles of Copper Oxide against Diagnostic X-ray
Radiation protection and the selection of suitable materials to reduce radiation effects is one of the important branches of medical science and radiation. In this paper, the mass attenuation coefficients, half value layer thicknesses and thicknesses of 0/5 mm lead of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites containing Nano and micro-particles of copper oxide are calculated using experimental method...
متن کاملX-ray mass attenuation coefficient of silicon: theory versus experiment.
We compare new experimental x-ray total mass attenuation coefficients of silicon obtained with the x-ray extended-range technique (XERT) from 5 to 20 keV with theoretical calculations and earlier experimental measurements over a 5 to 50 keV energy range. The accuracy of between 0.27% and 0.5% of the XERT data allows us to probe alternate atomic and solid state wave function calculations and to ...
متن کاملHigh-Energy 3-D X-ray Tomography for Container Inspection
The field of sea freight container inspection has been driven by the U.S. home resolution number one “H.R.1” in the last decade. This law motivated various major research projects inside and outside Europe. The Fraunhofer Development Center X-ray Technology EZRT in Fürth / Germany was partner in ECSIT a three-year project funded by the German ministry for science and research. Within this conte...
متن کاملA deep learning framework for the automated inspection of complex dual-energy x-ray cargo imagery
Previously, we investigated the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect so-called Small Metallic Threats (SMTs) hidden amongst legitimate goods inside a cargo container. We trained a CNN from scratch on data produced by a Threat Image Projection (TIP) framework that generates images with realistic variation to robustify performance. The system achieved 90% detection of containers ...
