VOLUMETRIC 3D X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM FOR BAGGAGE INSPECTION INCLUDING THE DETECTION OF EXPLOSIVES

摘要

A tomographic volumetric x-ray imaging system (10) that uses either multiple x-ray sources (14) in a fixed configuration or a single source that can be shifted to provide a plurality of incident aspect angles. A combination of volumetric x-ray image data and multi-energy image acquisition provides an effective method for high confidence explosives detection within baggage or parcels.
