Method for Evaluating Crack Detection Systems

This patent provides a method for evaluating the crack detection capability of radiation inspection systems. By combining computer simulation and experimental processes, cracks with target defect sizes and calibration defect sizes are selected, and simulation tests and experimental tests are conducted for each. This allows for the comparison of simulation output parameters and experimental output parameters, leading to the calculation of a predictive CNR SF for crack detection.

• Combination of simulation and experiment
• Calculation of predictive CNR SF
• Improvement in the accuracy of inspection technologies

Traditional radiation inspection systems have had inadequate crack detection capabilities and low reliability of inspection results. Specifically, it has been challenging to accurately detect target defect sizes and calibration defect sizes, necessitating a higher precision in inspection technologies. Additionally, correlating the results of simulations and experiments during the inspection process has been a challenge. This has led to a demand for improved safety and cost reduction in the industry.
