Abstract

Abstract A multiple view binocular stereoscopic X-ray imaging technique developed as a part of a feasibility study for a security screening application is presented. The experimental system utilises a single X-ray source and a multiple view line-scan camera incorporating an X-ray image intensifier. This set up is used to simulate coplanar configurations of discrete linear X-ray detector arrays. A number of perspective images (typically 6–16) are produced during a single linear translation of the object under inspection. A sequential display of the images produces linear motion parallax in the display. Further work enabled motion parallax to be combined with binocular parallax [NDT&E Int 29 (1996) 27] to produce dynamic binocular stereoscopic images. The perspective images may also be used for the extraction of three-dimensional coordinate information. The results produced by an experimental system are presented together with a theoretical discussion.
