  • INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING PENETRATING RADIATION
    Publication number: 20100246930
    Abstract: Products in multiple lanes are passed side-by-side through X-ray inspection apparatus and an image is acquired. Different parts of the image corresponding to the different product lanes are subjected to different numerical processing, so that product anomalies are in each case readily visible or reliably detected using automatic threshold discrimination. The same X-ray power may therefore be used to inspect products having widely different X-ray attenuation characteristics.
