Registration-based geometric calibration of industrial X-ray tomography system
Résumé
This paper presents a general and efficient method for geometrical calibration of industrial X-ray tomography systems without the use of any phantom. In the field of nondestructive testing (NDT), an accurate numericalmodel of the object is usually available. By extending the classical volume-to-image registration framework, the method estimates both the parameters related to the position of the object, and those related to the positions and the orientations of the X-ray source, the detector and the rotation axis. Only using the projections data and the numericalmodel of the object, the values of the geometrical parameters are estimated with a good accuracy. Numerical experiments show that the method provides good results, even if the initialization of the process is far from the real values.
