Abstract:
Ad. X-ray inspection apparatus includes a conveyance unit, an X-ray radiation unit, an X-ray detection, unit, and an image processing unit. The X-ray detection unit has a plurality of direct conversion-type X-ray detection element arrays disposed, side-by-side in rows along a direction intersecting both a conveyance direction in which an object is conveyed by the conveyance unit and a radiation direction in which X-rays are radiated by the X-ray radiation unit The image processing unit has an edge detection unit configured to carry out edge detection processing on an X-ray transmission image to generate an edge detected image, a horizontal direction gradation unit configured to carry out horizontal direction gradation processing on the edge detected image to generate a horizontal direction gradation linage, and a synthesizing unit configured to synthesize the X-ray transmission image and the horizontal direction gradation image to generate a post-processing X-ray transmission image.
