    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for estimating an image fuzziness are provided. The method may comprise: acquiring an image; obtaining a mufti-scale representation of the image by performing a mufti-scale transform on the image; calculating gradients of the image and a normalized histogram of the gradients at each scale based on the multi-scale representation; calculating error vectors between the normalized histogram of gradients at each scale and a normalized original histogram of gradients of the image; performing a weighted summing on the error vectors by using respective weights to obtain a summed result, wherein the weights are determined based on a reciprocal of the sums of squares of the gradients of the image at each scale; estimating the ambiguity of the image based on the summed result.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method of substance identification of an item to be inspected using a multi-energy-spectrum X-ray imaging system, the method comprising: acquiring a transparency related vector consisting of transparency values of the item to be inspected in N energy regions, wherein N is greater than 2; calculating distances between the transparency related vector and transparency related vectors stored in the system consisting of N transparency mean values of multiple kinds of items with multiple thicknesses in the N energy regions; and identifying the item to be inspected as the item corresponding to the minimum distance. The present disclosure is based on a multi-energy-spectrum X-ray imaging system, and proposes a method of substance identification by analyzing the multi-energy-spectrum substance identification issue. Compared with the conventional dual-energy X-ray system, the multi-spectrum imaging can significantly improve the system's ability to identify substances in theory, especially in the field of security applications. The improvement of substance identification is important for contraband inspection, such as, drugs, explosives.

    Abstract: A method for inspecting a container and an inspection device are disclosed. X-ray scanning is performed on the inspected container to obtain a scanned image. The scanned image is processed to obtain a region of interest. Features of texture units included in the region of interest are calculated. Local descriptions of the texture units are formed based on the features of the texture units. Distinction of each local point is calculated from a local description of each of the texture units so as to obtain a local distinct map of the region of interest. It is determined whether there is an article which is secretly carried in the inspected container using the local distinct map.

    Abstract: There is provided a semiconductor detector. According to an embodiment, the semiconductor detector may include a semiconductor detection material including a first side and a second side opposite to each other. One of the first side and the second side is a ray incident side that receives incident rays. The detector may further include a plurality of pixel cathodes disposed on the first side and a plurality of pixel anodes disposed on the second side. The pixel anodes and the pixel cathodes correspond to each other one by one. The detector may further include a barrier electrode disposed on a periphery of respective one of the pixel cathodes or pixel anodes on the ray incident side. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to effectively suppress charge sharing between the pixels and thus to improve an imaging resolution of the detector.
