Patent number: 9528948Abstract: A method includes directing a broadband X-ray emission along a predetermined fixed detection line across a direction of travel of an object and detecting the X-rays at several sampling positions of the object relative to the detection line. Sensors making up the detection line simultaneously detect a first partial image for a first spectral segment of the X-ray and a second partial image for a second spectral segment or the entire spectrum of the X-ray. In order to generate the relevant partial image data, a value of the radiation energy in the relevant spectral segment is determined at each detection position associated with a partial image. The partial image data of the first and second image are arithmetically combined into a partial output image, and the partial output images of all sampling positions are combined into one output image.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Wipotec Wiege- und Positioniersysteme GmbHInventors: Kai Mark Lüghausen, Theodor Doll
