Abstract:
1. A method for generating a three-dimensional model of an object of interest in an aircraft, the method comprising: responsive to transmitting a plurality of x-rays from a set of transmission points into the aircraft, receiving backscatter x-ray data to form received data; identifying the object of interest from a two-dimensional diagram of the backscatter data to form an identification; creating a plurality of points for the object of interest in the aircraft from the identification in the received data; placing the plurality of points at a first distance from the set of transmission points to form a first curve; placing the plurality of points at a second distance from the set of transmission points to form a second curve; forming a first surface from the first curve and the second curve; forming a second surface that intersects the first surface to form an intersection; and generating three-dimensional data for the three-dimensional model of the object of interest in the aircraft from the intersection.
