3． Technical Principal

3.1 X-ray Imaging Principle

X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, and it has shorter wavelength than

visible light so that it can penetrate objects and image inside structures and areas in
a non-intrusive way.

X-ray attenuation varies with object density and composition

When a beam of x-ray is projected toward an object, according to the density and
composition of the different areas of the object, a variation of x-ray transmitting
through the object are captured by detectors, and then the x-ray signals are
digitalized and reconstructed into an 2-dimentional x-ray image, which shows all the
superimposed structures inside the object. The following is a typical x-ray image of
baggage:

-5-
 Black & white x-ray image

3.2 Dual-energy X-ray Imaging Technology and Material Classification

The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is to separate among object materials with
different atomic number (Z value) elements, and adds colour coding material
composition information to the traditional black & white x-ray image, which indicates
only the shape of an object.

Dual-energy x-ray image indicating material composition

In the above dual-energy x-ray image, materials with concentration of different Z

elements are classified and coded in different colours.

Colour Coding Materials Type Typical materials

-6-
 Organic Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,
(Low Z elements) oxygen, carbohydrate
Mixtures and light metals Aluminum, natrium, silicon,
(Medium Z elements) chlorine, salt
Inorganic
Steel, copper, silver
(High Z elements)

For applying dual-energy x-ray imaging technology, the x-ray beams with two
different energy levels are used to irradiate an object, and then the ratio of x-ray
attenuation for both energy levels are processed by specific algorithm to acquire the
Z values, which indicate the material composition of all object areas.

When a scanned object is made with different material components, the calculated Z
value is the average atomic number of all components in the x-ray transmission path,
which is also called effective atomic number (Zeff).

3.3 Explosives & Narcotics Detection and Atomic Number Signatures

The dual-energy x-ray imaging technology is capable of improving substantially the

performance of explosives and narcotics detection, as they have Z value signatures
showed in the following diagram.

-7-
 Z signatures of explosives and narcotics

There are some benign materials featuring the similar Z value region as explosives
and narcotics, as well as the acquired Z value of explosives and narcotics may also be
affected by overlapping with other bulk innocuous objects, so the dual-energy x-ray
system will surely give positive and negative false alarms.

- 10 -
 CX product basic configuration

4.2.1 X-ray Generator

The X-ray generator is used to generate x-rays, which will penetrate objects to image.

The most key component of an x-ray generator is the x-ray tube. The x-ray tube
contains a cathode, which directs a stream of electrons into a vacuum, and an anode,
which collects the electrons. The electrons are focused and accelerated by an
electrical field in the x-ray tube. When electrons collide with the anode, which is
made of tungsten, part of the resulting energy is emitted as X-rays, and the
remaining energy is released as heat. An oil recirculating system is necessary to cool
the anode.

The X-ray generator applies the pulse-width-modulated technology, and it works by

controlling the voltage and current to the x-ray tube, and generates the x-rays of
desired energy and dose.

The x-ray generator is equipped with multiple self-protections and alarms capabilities,
such as Over Voltage Protection and Over Current Protection, which ensure the high

- 11 -
stability and reliability of the x-ray generator.

4.2.2 Detector Modules and Data Acquisition

Detector modules contain scintillators and photodiodes. The scintillators are used to
convert x-rays to visible lights, and the latter are turned to analog electric signals and
amplified.

All the detector modules are arrayed in L-shape and installed close to the tunnel, on
the opposite side of the x-ray generator, and cover the whole tunnel without blind
cut-off areas.

The data acquisition collects the analog signals from all detector modules, and
converts them into digital signals, and then the digital data will be transferred to a
computer for processing.

4.2.3 Computer Platform and Operating Inspection System

The computer platform, working together with Operating Inspection System (OIS)
application, is the core in the CX product, and its main functions include:

 X-ray image reconstruction and enhancement processing.

 Image storage, query, review, general image conversion, print and export to USB
interface storage device, etc.
 User management, TIP and simulant training, diagnostic tools and other system
functions.
 Network capabilities and support.

The computer platform in CX product is applied with industrial PC (IPC), and it greatly
promotes the system reliability by using industrial level components and keeping
stable system configurations.
- 12 -
4.2.4 Main User Interface Devices

The main user-machine interface devices include monitors, special keyboards and
mouse.

4.2.5 Mechanical and Conveying Structures

The mechanical and conveying structures are designed to make CX product image an
object in a line-scanning way, in a tunnel with lead curtains installed at both tunnel
openings for radiation protection.

Filtering by a collimator, the x-rays are focused to a beaming plane emitting at the
object. While the object moves across the beaming plane in a fixed speed along with
the conveying system, its image is constructed line by line.

6． Concept of Operations

6.1 X-ray Screening with Explosive & Narcotics Detection Aid

By x-ray screening, most threats like weapons and explosives detonators can be
detected by shape characteristic identification from the x-ray images by screeners,
while bulk explosives and narcotics can be marked automatically according to atomic
number signatures.

6.1.1 Threats Detection by Shape Characteristic Identification in X-ray Images

Analyzing x-ray images is the most effective way for detection of a wide range of
threats, which have their own shape characteristics.

An object usually seems different by reading from different views. If something in a

baggage is hard to be identified, turning and scanning the baggage in another
projection may be a better choice.

Good projection for identification Bad projection for identification

6.1.2 Explosives & Narcotics Automatic Detection by Atomic Number Signatures

By applying dual-energy x-ray imaging technology, the atomic number attribute of

- 16 -
materials can be acquired and used to find bulk explosives and narcotics, which

formats, such as JPG, BMP and PNG, etc.

6.5 Threat Image Projection (TIP)

6.5.1 TIP Overview

TIP is an OIS tool that inserts fictional images of threat items into baggage images
when the baggage is screened. For the screener operators, it seems the same as real
threats are inside the baggage, and whether the screener detects such threats with a
response or not will be recorded.

TIP function is designed to enhance threat detection performance of screeners by

bring the following key benefit:
 Keep screeners maintaining vigilance by increasing threat targets detection
experience.
 Expand screeners’ knowledge base by presenting images of a range of threat
types and items.
 The TIP response data of screeners has significant value for evaluating individual
performance, and providing guidance on training requirements.

6.5.2 TIP Response and Feedback

When the screener detect threats in the image, they must press a “marking” button
on the special keyboard, and the OIS will provide immediately feedback to the
screener about the accuracy of their response, to indicate a successful detection or a
failed missing of projected threat image.

The feedback to the screener’s TIP response is also necessary to avoid causing an
emergency disposal procedure due to mistaking fictional threats for real threats.

- 26 -
6.5.3 TIP Data Analysis and Report

All the TIP response data of the screener are recorded and can be queried and
analyzed by the administrator, to obtain the screener’s strengths and weakness in
performance.

A TIP data report recording a variety of performance data over time is also available,
and can be export to USB storage device.
