  • Accelerated higher resolution industrial radiography
    Patent number: 12607578
    Abstract: Example industrial radiography systems allow for generation of higher resolution 2D radiographs using an accelerated higher resolution radiograph process. The accelerated higher resolution radiograph process uses pixel (e.g., grayscale) values from one or more lower resolution 2D radiographs to set pixel values for a first portion of higher resolution radiograph pixels of a higher resolution 2D radiograph. The remaining portion of the higher resolution radiograph pixels are set based on an analysis of the first portion. The accelerated higher resolution radiograph process is faster than more traditional processes because the accelerated higher resolution radiograph process necessitates fewer lower resolution radiographs be captured, and therefore saves time and/or lower wear and tear on the radiography machine, while still providing quality higher resolution 2D radiographs.
