  • Patent number: 12270772
    Abstract: A method for detecting the maximum potential presence of a material in an object. The method includes obtaining raw x-ray image data comprising a plurality of pixels for the object from an X-ray scanning device, wherein each pixel of the plurality of pixels has associated therewith an attenuation value and an effective atomic number (Zeff) for the pixel. The method further includes converting, for each pixel having a Zeff value greater than a threshold effective atomic number (Zeff-threshold), the Zeff at the pixel to the Zeff-threshold while applying a correction factor to the attenuation value for the pixel to bring the attenuation value into correspondence with the conversion of the Zeff value for the pixel and determining a maximum potential amount of the material present at each pixel based on the corrected attenuation value at the pixel. This renders material more apparent in visual display.

  • Patent number: 12211230
    Abstract: A relative position calculator calculates relative position and attitude of a vehicle based on images captured by an image capturing apparatus on the vehicle. An absolute position calculator extracts a marker from an image captured by the image capturing apparatus, and calculates absolute position and attitude of the vehicle, based on position and attitude of the one extracted marker. A corrector calculates the corrected position and attitude, not using the absolute position and attitude calculated based on the position and attitude of the marker when a difference or ratio of an apparent height and width of the marker in the image is equal to or smaller than a threshold, but using the absolute position and attitude calculated based on the position and attitude of the marker when the difference or ratio is larger than the threshold.
