Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for estimating weight of an object to be inspected in an inspection system. An effective atomic number and a high-energy gray value of the dual-energy corresponding to each pixel of the object to be inspected are obtained by a dual-energy radiation scanning. A mass-thickness value for a corresponding pixel is obtained from a pre-created mass-thickness attenuation curve by utilizing the effective atomic numbers and the high-energy gray value of the dual-energy for respective pixels. Weight information for at least a part of the object to be inspected is calculated by multiplying the mass-thickness value by the area of the pixel. Such a method may accurately calculate the weight of the object to be inspected and save the cost for a conventional weighing hardware.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a gantry configuration for a combined mobile radiation inspection system comprising a first arm frame, a second arm frame and a third arm frame. The first, second and third arm frames define a scanning channel to allow an inspected object to pass therethrough.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a vehicular radiation inspection system comprising a mobile vehicle body, a detection arm, a radiation source and a detector. The vehicular radiation inspection system further comprises a following mechanism separated from the detection arm. The following mechanism contains radiation protection material, and the following mechanism follows the detection arm to move in a non-contact manner during inspection of the inspected object, so as to prevent radiation leakage. In the present invention, it does not need to infuse radiation protection material having a high density, such as lead, into the detection arm. Therefore, it can effectively decrease the weight of the detection arm, and it does not need to provide a balance counterweight on the mobile vehicle body on which the detection arm is carried, thereby effectively solving the problem that the vehicular radiation inspection system has an excessively large mass.
