  • Method of and system for automatic object display of volumetric computed tomography images for fast on-screen threat resolution
    Patent number: 8009883
    Abstract: A method of and a system for automatic object display of volumetric CT data for fast on-screen threat resolution are disclosed, wherein the CT data includes a CT image in a single energy CT scanner, or a CT image and a Z image in a multi-energy CT scanner, and a label image defining each object as a plurality of voxels of the volumetric CT data. The method comprises generating volumetric CT image data corresponding to a scanned bag; performing automatic threat detection to generate a label image; processing the volumetric CT data and the label image to obtain visualization parameters for each object; automatically generating display images for each object using corresponding visualization parameters; and displaying the generated display images for on-screen threat resolution.

  • Method of and system for 3D display of multi-energy computed tomography images
    Patent number: 7692650
    Abstract: A method of and a system for displaying volumetric multi-energy CT images are disclosed, wherein a CT image, a Z image, and a label image from an automatic explosive detection are provided, are disclosed. The method comprises generating an index image through a nonlinear transformation of the CT image, the Z image, and the label image, rotating and coloring the index image as desired, and rendering and displaying the rotated and colored image.
