Abstract

The design of a prototype binocular stereoscopic X-ray imaging system for a security screening application is presented. This is based on an innovative technique [Evans JPO, Robinson M, Godber SX. A new stereoscopic imaging technique using a single X-ray source: theoretical analysis. NDT&E International 1996;29(1):27–35] utilising a single X-ray source and a pair of linear X-ray detector arrays. The image data is collected whilst the object under inspection is linearly translated past the X-ray detectors. The machine constructed enables approximately one cubic metre of object space to be imaged in five seconds. The resultant images may also be used for the extraction of three-dimensional coordinate information.
