Projection of hazardous items into X-ray images of inspection objects

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a device and method for generating test X-ray images for nondestructively inspecting an inspection object, such as a piece of luggage or a package. The generation device includes: an inspection object database for storing X-ray image data of inspection objects generated using at least one X-ray inspection facility; a target item database containing image data of target items; and an image projection unit for projecting a virtual image of a target item from the target item database into an X-ray image from the inspection object database to generate a test X-ray image. The image projection unit is configured for generating test images based on an X-ray image of an inspection object, the X-ray image having been recorded prior to a first time period, and the associated inspection object having already been classified as safe and/or having been classified as safe during an automatic inspection.
