  • Patent number: 11734816
    Abstract: Various tray inserts, methods and algorithm for certifying candidate trays for use in an X-ray scanner system are discussed. The tray insert includes at least a body having multiple parts positioned for generation of image quality metrics for tray impact evaluation in; a first cover and a second cover disposed at opposite ends to fix and secure the body. The method including running an algorithm to control an X-ray system to collect baseline image data from certified trays, collecting candidate tray image data, extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data, and performing statistical analysis using and comparing image quality metrics from the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data to certify the candidate tray based on the statistical and comparison results.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220245886
    Abstract: In an approach to generating a synthetic three-dimensional (3D) X-ray volume, a first bag image of the plurality of bag images that includes an associated bag subvolume greater than a volume of a threat represented in a first threat image of the plurality of threat images is selected. An image is created based on inserting the threat of the first threat image into the associated bag subvolume of the first bag image.
