BRAU6045 Checkpoint X-Ray Inspection System

Product Code: Brau6045

The Braun BRAU6045 is intended for visual inspection of various objects (mail, hand-held baggage and other small items) without opening them.

Dual energy imaging provides automatic colour coding of materials with different atomic numbers so that screening staff can easily identify within any parcel dangerous objects or objects that are prohibited for importing (exporting) or are not declared.

The Braun BRAU6045 allows identification of weapons, explosives (including plastic explosives), drugs, primers and dangerous objects, which are a safety hazard.

SOFTWARE FEATURES

The purpose of the system software is to control the operation of the Scanner as well as to provide the opportunity to acquire, visualise 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: a 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;
Pseudocolouring 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).
