  • Publication number: 20230393082
    Abstract: A nondestructive inspecting device (10) includes a neutron emission device (2) that emits a neutron beam to a local irradiation location on a surface (la) of an inspection target (1), a detection device (3) that detects, at each of inspection positions facing the surface (la), scattered neutrons returned from the inspection target (1) as a result of emission of the neutron beam to the irradiation location, and measures the detected number of the scattered neutrons at each of the detection positions, and a ratio calculation unit (5) that calculates, for each of the detection positions, a ratio of the detected number at the detection position to a reference value for the detection position, and outputs the ratios. The reference value is set as the detected number at each of the detection positions in an assumed case of no defects existing in the inspection target (1).

  • Patent number: 11375964
    Abstract: In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to raise the reproducibility of a reconstructed tomographic image without increasing a calculation load, any one among two directions adjacent to two boundaries that demarcate an angular scan range is offset from any one among coordinate axes of a two-dimensional tomographic image of N pixels×N pixels, and the angle of the offset is made to be above 0 degrees and under 90 degrees or above ?90 degrees and under 0 degrees. A detection device, which includes N detection elements, performs detection in each detection direction, and a first vector having N×N elements is obtained from a detection signal obtained by the detection device in a detection operation. A discrete Inverse Radon transform matrix is applied to the first vector to obtain a second vector having N×N elements. The second vector is de-vectorized to obtain image data for a two-dimensional tomographic image of N pixels×N pixels.

  • Patent number: 11307153
    Abstract: In order to increase reproducibility of a reconstructed tomographic image without increasing the computational load, detection is performed by oversampling in (N+n) directions during imaging for detection by N detection elements. A vector having N×(N+n) elements is obtained, and vector decimation step is performed in which a total of n×N elements corresponding to a sequence {k} 30 denoting a decimation order are removed. In a discrete Radon transform step, a corresponding discrete Radon inverse matrix WSQ?140 is operated, and in an image data generation step, de-vectoring is performed, thereby tomographic image data are acquired. When oversampling is used, a discrete Radon inverse matrix WSQ?1 is obtained. Therefore, a tomographic image is obtained by matrix computation without resorting to iterative approximation.
