A scanning environment includes a real-time signal generation for remote detection of the position of a portable X-ray scanning system with reference to a transmission detector. Prior to generating an X-ray scan, the portable X-ray scanning system must be positioned such that X-rays generated by an X-ray source, of the portable X-ray scanning system, strikes all or a portion of the transmission detector. In some cases, the transmission detector panel may be positioned at a distance from the portable X-ray scanning system. The transmission detector may even be out of sight of the X-ray source. For these cases a real-time signal is generated and processed to indicate whether an X-ray beam is striking the transmission detector. If the X-ray beam is not striking the transmission detector, feedback is generated, real-time, indicating a direction in which the X-ray beam should be moved.

A first angle detection unit of a registration support processing unit detects a first angle about a vertical axis between a radiation generation unit and a long edge of an examination table to acquire the first angle. The first angle corresponds to an angle about a Z axis, which is a normal to a radiation detection surface of an electronic cassette, between the radiation generation unit and the electronic cassette. A first/second support information output unit of the registration support processing unit outputs first support information for supporting the registration of the radiation generation unit with respect to the angle about the Z axis based on the first angle.

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.

An X-ray inspection device includes first and second conveyors, an X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray line sensor, and a control unit. The first and second conveyors are configured to convey first and second articles at first and second conveying speeds, respectively. The second conveying speed is different from the first conveying speed. The X-ray line sensor is configured to detect amounts of X-rays transmitted through the first and second articles at a timing based on the first conveying speed. The control unit is configured to generate a first X-ray image of the first article, and a second X-ray image of the second article, and to inspect the first and second articles, respectively. The control unit is configured to correct an effect of a speed difference between the first and second conveying speeds in inspection of the second article based on the second X-ray image.

A system for evaluating a distribution of fiber bundles in a fiber reinforced material by three-dimensional vector data of the fiber bundles is provided with: a calculator configured to divide the fiber reinforced material into a plurality of three-dimensional cells, selecting data respectively belonging to the cells, and averaging the selected data to calculate reference vector data; and a display configured to display the reference vector data two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally.

An article inspection device includes an image storage unit that stores an inspection image by imaging an article, a determination unit that determines a quality state of the article by obtaining an inference value related to the quality state as confidence for each predetermined unit region of the inspection image and comparing with a threshold value using a learning model, an inference value image generation unit that generates an inference value image having a pixel density corresponding to the inference value, a projection image generation unit that generates a projection image by projecting a maximum value of the density corresponding to the inference value to an x-axis for a plurality of line image regions xpi present in a y-axis direction in the inference value image, and a display control unit that displays the projection image by adding a line corresponding to the threshold value.
