    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for correcting image errors in a radiographic image that has been generated by means of an inspection apparatus configured for continuously transporting inspection objects through the inspection apparatus for the nondestructive inspection of the inspection objects and to generate radiographic images of the inspection objects. An inspection system includes an evaluation device connected in a spatially separate manner to one or more inspection apparatuses. The evaluation device includes a computer unit configured to receive at least one radiographic image of an inspection object from generated by the inspection apparatus, an output unit for displaying the radiographic images, and an input unit for receiving inputs from an operator in response to the displayed radiographic images.

  • Publication number: 20180164467
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting image errors in a radiographic image (B1, B2, B3) that has been generated by means of an inspection apparatus (200) that is configured for continuously transporting inspection objects (O1, O2, O3) through the inspection apparatus (200) in order to carry out an imaging inspection method for the nondestructive inspection of the inspection objects (O1, O2, O3) and to generate radiographic images (B1, B2, B3) of the inspection objects (O1, O2, O3). The invention further relates to a corresponding computer program, a data medium, and a data stream. The invention further relates to an evaluation device (100) for visual evaluating radiographic images (B1, B2, B3, B23), wherein the evaluation device (100) has a computer unit (110), an input unit (120), and an output unit (130), wherein the computer unit (110) is configured for carrying out the method.
