集装箱检查系统中的阵列探测器校正

大型集装箱检查系统中 ,采用一维线阵列探测器并行扫描方式 ,并以直线加速器为 X射线源。其中多个探测器及前放的线性不一致性和非线性以及 X射线扇型束流的强度角分布导致图像出现水平条纹和明暗条带。这些因素严重影响了图像质量 ,必须对图像进行校正。通过实验 ,对探测器响应进行多点定标 ,再进行对数插值 ,得到校正参数。原始图像数据与校正参数进行适当的运算 ,图像即得到校正。计算结果与实验结果基本吻合 ,图像经校正后 ,水平条纹和条带基本消失。这种校正方法在集装箱检查系统中是有效和可行的 ,已经得到应用

Detector correction in large container inspection systems

In large container inspection systems, the image is constructed by parallel scanning with a one-dimensional detector array with a linac used as the X-ray source. The linear nonuniformity and nonlinearity of multiple detectors and the nonuniform intensity distribution of the X-ray sector beam result in horizontal striations in the scan image. This greatly impairs the image quality, so the image needs to be corrected. The correction parameters are determined experimentally by scaling the detector responses at multiple points with logarithm interpolation of the results. The horizontal striations are eliminated by modifying the original image data with the correction parameters. This method has proven to be effective and applicable in large container inspection systems.
