Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of radiation detection technology and radioactivity monitoring, and in particular relates to a gamma radioactivity imaging method based on deep learning. Background technique [0002] With the application of the nuclear industry and nuclear technology in various fields of national economic development, the safety supervision of radioactive substances and the ability to respond to nuclear accidents have become issues of particular concern to the nuclear safety and nuclear security industry. The traditional radioactive distribution detection technology mainly uses radiation detectors to measure each point in the target area, or uses array detectors to perform two-dimensional imaging of the target area, but neither can obtain the accurate location of radioactive substances in the real environment. In particular, for radioactive positioning in complex scenes, it is also necessary to consider the three-dimensional spatial...

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional coded aperture collimator is designed according to complex mathematical formulas, and its encoding and decoding algorithms are relatively complex, which limits the design of the coded aperture collimator, and requires a long imaging time in a low dose rate radiation environment. The gamma radiation image is closely related to the measurement time, and high-resolution images cannot be obtained when the measurement time is short
