  • The stereo radiation detection system detects the gamma source and acquires two dimensional left and right images for gamma source and visible objects using the detection result. And then the system measures the distance to the radiation source from the system in 3D space using stereo vision algorithm. In this paper, we implemented the fast detection algorithm for gamma source from the system in 3D space to reduce the detection time with image processing algorithms. Additionally, the system's performance is verified through experiments on gamma irradiation facilities. As a result, if the fast detection algorithm applied to the system, we can confirm that the detection system represents a 35% better performance than the conventional detection method that is full scanning to acquire the stereo image. We also have visualized a gamma source distribution through a 3D monitor using the stereo vision algorithm in order to provide the information of radiation spatial distribution to the user efficiently.

  • In this paper, we have designed the collimator of different sizes structure for the development of stereo radiation detector. And we conducted a study of the optimal structure of collimator using the results of the Gamma-ray irradiation test associated with the change of the incident angle. According to the results of the performance analysis, and showed the results of the optimal incident angle 2. Results of the paper are used as basic data for designing the structure of the detector efficiency for radiation detection.

  • In this study, we compared the measured values of the effective beam size of standard gamma irradiator with the simulation results to provide a useful means to the effective beam area determination. Results of the simulation and measured using ion chamber was distributed in a relative error of 4.5 ~ 7.3% of the case of air kerma rate. The size of the effective beam area is when the simulation was implemented in the horizontal direction 27cm, 21.6cm vertical direction, the measured result using a film was obtained similar results with the horizontal direction 26.5cm, 21.9cm vertical direction. The relative error in the horizontal direction is 1.85% and 1.38% vertical effective beam area was also similarly distributed around the field gamma rays. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the effectiveness of the simulation was sufficient for the gamma irradiation system. In particular, it is small relative errors in the effective beam size than the air kerma rate is considered to be due to the size of the beam is determined by geometric factors rather than the capacity of the standard source. A further study is needed to improve the reliability of the photon energy distribution diagram using simulation.

  • Using Cs-137 and Co-60 gamma-ray irradiation systems, the buildup factors for 2.9 cm thick lead absorber and the air scattering factors are determined for different beam solid angles from$2.4{\pi}{\times}10^{-3}sr\;to\;17.3{\pi}{\times}10^{-3}sr$. The corresponding buildup factors are turned out to be the values from 1.054 to 1.194 and the scattering factors to be the values from 1 to 1.064, respectively. To verify our results, calculated values using these factors and experimental values are compared. The differences between them are not more than 3. 3%.
