The purpose of the system software is to control the operation of the Scanner as well as to provide the opportunity to acquire, visualize and process digital X-ray images. To facilitate the work of the operator, a control panel is provided. The panel makes it possible to access all the software features.
General purpose functions:
- Password-protected logon
- Self-testing and performance support functions:
- Automatic self-testing
- Displaying messages about operating status of the Scanner
- Warming up the X-ray generator (the process can be started both manually and automatically)
Hardware control functions:
- Controlling the conveyor belt drive, the protective shutter’s drive, the X-ray generator
- Automatic changing of generator’s operating modes depending on the scanner idle time
- Acquiring data from the X-ray detector
- Automatically calibrating the X-ray detector
- Turning off the X-ray generator in case of emergency
- Indicating X-ray on
Digital X-ray image acquisition, visualization, and processing functions:
- Acquiring images without additional algorithmic processing
- Highlighting optically dense objects
- Adjusting contrast of strongly absorbing objects
- Inverting images
- Performing gamma–correction of images
Optimizing the overall contrast:
- Combination of edge enhancement and local contrast enhancement algorithms
- Coloring images according to calculated values of atomic numbers of substances which compose objects under inspection
- Coloring substances with atomic numbers from a selected range
- Pseudocoloring objects with a possibility of selection of various palettes
- Displaying organic objects with atomic numbers equal to 7, 8, and 9
- Displaying substances according to a selected range of signal strength
- Magnifying one out of nine predefined areas of an image
- Zooming images up to 96x
- Automatically highlighting suspicious objects (which can be related to drugs, explosives, or arms)
Additional functions:
- Saving X-ray images to files
- Storing a predefined number of images
- Browsing the image archive
- Copying images on external storage media (CD/DVD disks and flash-drives)
- Viewing and copying images from a local area network
- Automatic preparing, filing and printing service reports
- Controlling quality of operator’s performance with the TIP program module
- Counting inspected baggage
