Techniques for Efficient Storage and Retrieval of Industrial Radiographs

摘要

The objective of this study is to investigate techniques to improve the efficiency of industrial radiograph storage and retrieval (RSR).\nA representative radiograph of a portion of a butt weld in 26-inch pipe was ana¬lyzed for information content by scanning with a microdensitometer and also by digi¬tizing a portion of the image using several spatial resolutions.\nThe storage techniques considered in this study include digital storage on magnetic disk or tape and analog storage on video tape, 35 mm film or optical video disk.
