기존 방사선 검색장치는 2차원 방사선 스캔 영상을 사용하기 때문에 정확성이 낮다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 컨테이터 X-선 검색 영상에 대한 스테레오 영상처리 기술의 적용 가능성을 분석하였다. 일반적 방사선 검색장치에 라인 센서 하나만을 추가하여 새롭게 고안한 스테레오 영상획득 장치로부터 검사 오브젝트의 좌우 시차 정보를 달리하는 두 장의 이차원 방사선 스캔영상을 획득하였다. 획득 영상에 대해서 매칭 알고리즘을 이용하여 3차원 오브젝트 복원하는 과정을 진행하였다. 오브젝트의 투과밀도 정보인 방사선 영상의 특성상 일반 스테레오 영상처리 알고리즘 적용은 한계가 발생하였다. 이를 극복하기 위해 먼저 이차원 영상의 에지정보에 기반한 3차원 영상복원을 시도하였다. 또한 새로운 볼륨복원 방식의 3차원 복원 알고리즘을 제안하였고, 실험을 통해 오브젝트 검색에서 개선된 형상복원 방법임을 확인하였다. 제안된 기술은 제한된 스캔환경에서 CT나 MRI 적용이 어려운 오브젝트에 대해 응용이 가능할 것이다.

높은 초당 프레임 속도와 낮은 영상지연을 갖는 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터의 요구조건을 만족하기 위해서는 픽셀내 포토다이오드와 금속 배선간 중첩 영역의 기생정전용량을 최소화하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 리드아웃 박막트랜지스터, 리셋 박막트랜지스터, 그리고 포토다이오드로 픽셀이 구성된 듀오픽스^TM(duoPIX^TM) 동영상 엑스레이 영상센서를 처음으로 제시하였다. 이후 150 × 150 mm² 영상영역, 73 ㎛ 픽셀 크기, 2048 × 2048 해상도(4.2 M pixels), 최대 초당 50 프레임의 특성을 갖는 duoPIX^TM 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터를 제작하여 초당 프레임 속도, 감도, 노이즈, MTF, 영상지연과 같은 엑스레이 영상 성능을 기존 엑스레이 영상센서를 적용한 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터와 비교 평가하였다. 평가 결과 이전 연구에서 기대했던 것과 같이 duoPIX^TM 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터가 기존 동영상 엑스레이 디텍터 대비 모든 특성에서 우위의 성능을 보여 주었다.

1. Introduction Pose estimation of a three dimensional object has been studied in robot vision area, and it is needed in a number of industrial applications such as process monitoring and control, assembly and PCB inspection. In this research, we propose a new pose estimation method based on principal axes analysis. Here, it is assumed that the locations of x-ray source and the image plane are predetermined and the object geometry is known. To this end, we define a dispersion matrix of an object, which is a discrete form of inertia matrix of the object. It can be determined here from a set of x-ray images, at least three images are required. Then, the pose information is obtained fro...

We propose a contrast-controlled feature detection approach for steel radiograph image. X-ray images are low contrast, dark and high noise image. So, It is not simple to detect defects directly in automated radiography inspection system. Contrast enhancement, histogram equalization and median filter are the most frequently used techniques to enhance the X-ray images. In this paper, the adaptive control method based on contrast limited histogram equalization is compared with several histogram techniques. Through comparative analysis, CLAHE(contrast controlled adaptive histogram equalization) can enhance detection of defects better.

엑스선을 이용하면 다양한 종류의 시료에 대한 투영 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 시료가 저밀도 및 고밀도의 복합 물질로 구성되어 있는 경우는 단일 관전압 엑스선을 이용해서 두 물질을 모두 대조도가 높도록 영상화하기 어렵다. 저관전압과 고관전압을 이용하여 영상을 획득하고 영상처리하면 밀도의 차이가 큰 물질을 영상화하기에 용이하다. 크기가 작은 전자부품을 저관전압과 고관전압에서 영상을 획득하여 visual C++을 이용하여 픽셀-픽셀 영상 합성을 통하여 전자부품의 합성수지부분과 금속부분을 동시에 영상화하여 전자부품의 검사 및 관찰의 가능성을 검증하였다.

Visual inspection using laser vision sensor was proposed for fast and economic inspection and was verified experimentally. Welding is one of the most important manufacturing processes for automotive and electronics industries as well as heavy industries. The weld zone influences the reliability of the products. There are two kinds of weld inspection tests, destructive and non­destructive test. Even though the destructive test is much more reliable, the product should be destroyed, and hence the non­destructive test such as ultrasonic or X­ray test was used to overcome this problem. However, these tests are not used for real time inspection.

Radiation generating devices must be properly shielded for their safe application. Although institutes such as US National Bureau of Standards and National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) have provided guidelines for shielding X-ray tube of various purposes, industry people tend to rely on 'Half Value Layer (HVL) method' which requires relatively simple calculation compared to the case of those guidelines. The method is based on the fact that the intensity, dose, and air kerma of narrow beam incident on shielding wall decreases by about half as the beam penetrates the HVL thickness of the wall. One can adjust shielding wall thickness to satisfy outside wall dose or air kerma requirements with this calculation. However, this may not always be the case because 1) The strict definition of HVL deals with only Intensity, 2) The situation is different when the beam is not 'narrow'; the beam quality inside the wall is distorted and related changes on outside wall dose or air kerma such as buildup effect occurs. Therefore, sometimes more careful research should be done in order to verify the effect of shielding specific radiation generating device. High energy X-ray tubes which is operated at the voltage above 400 kV that are used for 'heavy' nondestructive inspection is an example. People have less experience in running and shielding such device than in the case of widely-used low energy X-ray tubes operated at the voltage below 300 kV. In this study, Air Kerma value per week, outside concrete shielding wall of various thickness surrounding 450 kVp X-ray tube were calculated using MCNP simulation with the aid of Geometry Splitting method which is a famous Variance Reduction technique. The comparison between simulated result, HVL method result, and NCRP Report 147 safety goal $0.02mGy\;wk^{-1}$ on Air Kerma for the place where the public are free to pass showed that concrete wall of thickness 80 cm is needed to achieve the safety goal. Essentially same result was obtained from the application of HVL method except that it suggest the need of additional 5 cm concrete wall thickness. Therefore, employing the result from HVL method calculation as an conservative upper limit of concrete shielding wall thickness was found to be useful; It would be easy, economic, and reasonable way to set shielding wall thickness.

X-ray computed tomography is a very powerful nondestructive technique in safety inspection of historic timber building. But, in field, various testing condition makes it difficult to carry out X-ray CT testing. Limited size in X-ray digital detector is one of the problems. In this study, a pitch pine disk with two holes was used to know how imperfection in X-ray projection affects CT image resolution. Using various number of projections, CT image was reconstructed by filtered back projection method, and then it was investigated how many projection is required to identify the holes in different location. Two artificial holes could be differently detected according to their location in cross section of specimen. One hole in center part of specimen was identified using more than 9 radiographs, but the other one which located in outer part of cross section could not be detected until more than 36 projections were used. Even though there is data missing in outer part of cross section due to limited size of detector, the center part of CT image could be reconstructed well and the resolution of outer part became higher with increase of the number of projections. For field application, the number of projections for CT image reconstruction needs to be decided with consideration of another nondestructive testing and the location of interest.
