Advanced x-ray imaging for food and baggage inspection

食品和行李检查是X射线探测器技术在日常生活中的重要应用。虽然自动化食品检查可以带来高质量的无污染食品，但行李检查是安全航空旅行的一个关键方面。维多利亚大学和瑞尔森大学的物理研究人员将与Redlen Technologies联合开发新的X射线探测器技术，以制造用于食品和行李检查的自动化X射线成像系统。在研究过程中，我们将使用原型Redlen探测器，并通过扫描包括食品和行李污染物在内的已知材料来模拟食品和行李检查。我们将开发最佳扫描参数选择的模型，以实现最高的污染物分割精度。在拟议项目成功完成后，将开发新的食品和行李扫描仪，并将改善食品质量和航空旅行安全。

Food and baggage inspection are important applications of x-ray detector technology to daily life. While automated food inspection can result in high-quality contaminant-free food, baggage inspection is a crucial aspect of safe air-travel. Physics researchers at the University of Victoria and Ryerson University will combine forces with Redlen Technologies who are developing novel x-ray detector technologies in order to manufacture automated x-ray imaging systems for food and baggage inspection. During the course of research, we will use prototype Redlen detectors and mimic food and baggage inspection by scanning known materials including food and baggage contaminants. We will develop models for optimal scanning parameter selection to achieve the highest accuracy of contaminant segmentation. Upon a successful completion of the proposed project, novel food and baggage scanners will be developed and food quality and air travel security will be improved.
