title: Three tomographic CT datasets of a woven fabric

description: <strong>Summary</strong><br> This submission contains three tomographic datasets of a fragment of fabric woven in tapestry weave. The data is collected at three different zoom levels to achieve different reconstructed image resolution.<br> The data is made available as part of [Bossema 2020]. <strong>Apparatus</strong><br> The dataset is acquired using the custom-built and highly flexible CT scanner, FleX-ray Laboratory, developed by TESCAN-XRE, located at CWI in Amsterdam. This apparatus consists of a cone-beam microfocus X-ray point source that projects polychromatic X-rays onto a 1944-by-1536 pixels, 14-bit, flat detector panel. Full details can be found in [Coban 2020]. <strong>Sample Information</strong><br> The sample is a fragment of woven fabric approximately 7cm x 15cm in size. The fabric was hung vertically on a piece of foam, held on the top by a wooden stick through one of the holes and on the bottom by a piece of plastic tape. See Figure 5 in [Bossema 2020] for a picture of the object and examples of the reconstruction. <br> <strong>Experimental Plan</strong><br> The data in this submission was collected to illustrate the use of zooming for the investigation of cultural heritage objects. Three region-of-interest scans of the lower part, containing a hole, were collected at different zoom levels. For each scan, the sample was rotated 360° in circular and continuous motion, with a dark-field (closed-shutter), and flat-field (open-shutter) image taken before the acquisition. Each dataset consists of 1200 projections. The source-detector distance was kept at 1098mm. At the first level of zooming, the object was placed at 963mm from the source yielding a magnification of 1.14 and 131 micron resolution. For the second level the object was moved closer to the source so that the source-object distance was 603mm, yielding a magnification of 1.82 and 82 micron resolution. At the third level, the source-object distance was reduced to 243, yielding a magnification of 4.5 and 33 micron resolution.<br> All raw data (i.e. no corrections) is made available in .tif format. <strong>List of Contents</strong> The content of the submission is given below. <strong>level1: </strong>lowest resolution scan. <strong>level2:</strong> higher resolution scan. <strong>level3:</strong> highest resolution scan. Each data folder contains: dark-field (or closed-shutter) image, <em>di000000.tif</em>, flat-field (or open-shutter before acquisition) image, <em>io000000.tif</em>, raw (unprocessed or uncorrected) projections,<em> scan_*.tif</em>, <em>data settings XRE.txt</em>, a text file with scanner metadata, <em>scan settings.txt</em>, a text file with scanner metadata in a human readable format, and <em>data settings XRE.ini</em>, a snapshot text file of basic geometry information at the start of a scan. <em>script_executed.txt</em>, the text file containing the list of commands the apparatus has executed. <strong>Additional Links</strong> These datasets are produced by the Computational Imaging group at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CI-CWI).
