[0058] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0060] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the grating imaging processing method proposed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0061] S101, when the moiré fringes on the detector are evenly distributed, acquiring a projection image of at least one angle of a sample placed in the grating imaging system, and a background image when no sample is placed in the system;

[0062] It is understandable that if Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the grating imaging system is provided with a light source, a zeroth grating, a first grating, a second grating and a detector in the order of light transmission direction. Among them, the light source is X-ray, the zeroth grating is used to divide the light source into several sub-light sources, and the zeroth grating is an absorption grating. The first grating is a phase grating, and the second grating is an absorption grating. After the sub-light sources pass through the first grating, they form a self-image at the position of the second grating. The self-image interferes with the second grating to form amplified moiré fringes on the detector (such as Figure 3 shown).

[0063] The first grating and the second grating can be aligned first (eg Figure 4 Then adjust the pitch angle of the second grating to make the periods of the upper and lower moiré fringes in the field of view equal (as shown in Figure 5 Then adjust the scroll angle of the second grating to obtain approximately vertical moiré fringes (as shown in Figure 6 As shown). At this time, the moiré fringes on the detector are evenly distributed. During the adjustment of the first grating and the second grating, the detector can continue to collect images until the moiré fringes in the image collected by the detector are evenly distributed. At this time, the adjustment of the first grating and the second grating can be stopped. At this time, the background image without the sample can be saved. Afterwards, the sample is placed, and the projection image of the sample is obtained by the detector (as shown). Figure 7 shown).

[0064] S102, separating the absorption information, refraction information, and scattering information of the projection image and the background image to obtain an absorption information image corresponding to bright fringes in the moiré fringes, an absorption information image corresponding to dark fringes, an average absorption information image, a refraction information image, and a scattering information image.

[0065] Ultimately, the projected image and background image yield dual-energy CT images (absorption information images corresponding to the bright and dark fringes in the moiré pattern), as well as average absorption information images, refraction information images, and scattering information images. These images can be used to comprehensively analyze the internal structure of the sample. Separation methods can include Fourier transforms and phase-stepping methods. The image separation process is described in detail below.

[0066] Optionally, when acquiring images of multiple angles of a sample placed in a grating imaging system, the sample is three-dimensionally reconstructed based on the absorption information images corresponding to the bright stripes, the absorption information images corresponding to the dark stripes, the average absorption information image, the refraction information image, and the scattering information image acquired at each angle.

[0067] In other words, if a sample placed in a grating imaging system is stationary, the detector can only detect an image of the sample from a single angle. However, if the sample is rotated, the detector can detect images from all angles, allowing for a three-dimensional reconstruction of the sample. The three-dimensional reconstruction can be performed using computer graphics, computer-aided geometric design, computer vision, computer animation, and other related technologies. Software options include 3DMAX, Maya, AutoCAD, and UG, which are not specifically limited here.

[0068] Optionally, separating the absorption information, the refraction information, and the scattering information of the projected image in combination with the background image to obtain an absorption information image corresponding to bright fringes and an absorption information image corresponding to dark fringes in the moiré fringes includes:

[0069] Separate the absorption information image corresponding to the bright fringes in the moiré fringes in the projected image, and remove the background image to obtain the high-energy absorption image;

[0070] The absorption information image corresponding to the dark fringes in the moiré fringes in the projection image is separated, and the background image is removed to obtain a low-energy absorption image.

[0071] It is understandable that in Figure 7 On the projected image shown, the image corresponding to the moiré bright fringes can be seen, and this part of the image can be selected as the absorption information image corresponding to the bright fringes in the moiré fringes (such as Figure 8 Similarly, we can see the image corresponding to the dark moiré fringes, and we can select this part of the image as the absorption information image corresponding to the dark fringes in the moiré fringes (as shown in Figure 9 As shown). The selection process can be separated according to the light intensity of each pixel. For example, a light intensity threshold is set and the pixels with corresponding light intensity are selected according to the light intensity. Figure 10 yes Figure 8 High energy absorption image after background removal, Figure 11 yes Figure 9 Remove low-energy absorption images from the background.

[0072] Optionally, separating the absorption information, the refraction information, and the scattering information of the projection image in combination with the background image to obtain the average absorption information image, the refraction information image, and the scattering information image includes:

[0073] Get the average absorption information image, the average absorption information satisfies

[0074] Get the refraction information image, the refraction information satisfies

[0075] Get the scattering information image, the scattering information satisfies

[0076] in, is the light intensity at point m, n on the detector when there is a sample, is the light intensity at point m, n on the detector when there is no sample, p2 is the period of the second grating in the grating imaging system, d is the distance between the first and second gratings in the grating imaging system, arg is a complex number angle operation, rem is a complex number modulus operation, and k (k = 1, 2, …, N) is the number of steps of uniform motion of a point m, n on the detector.

[0077] Optionally, the light intensity at point m, n on the detector

[0078] Among them, A0 is the average intensity, A1 is the amplitude, For phase.

[0079] That is, when there is a sample, the light intensity at point m, n on the detector is When there is no sample, the light intensity at point m, n on the detector

[0080] When the phase stepping method is used to separate the average absorption, refraction and scattering information, the average absorption, refraction and scattering information can be separated along the vertical grating groove direction ( Figure 2 The process of translating any grating at equal intervals (three steps or more) in the x-direction and recording the light intensity distribution on the detector at the same time, and obtaining the average absorption, refraction and scattering images by calculation. After collecting data with and without samples respectively, the absorption, refraction and scattering information images of the sample can be obtained by the above calculation. Among them, for the next step of CT reconstruction, the average absorption image is taken as Figure 12 As shown, the refraction image is Figure 13 As shown, the scattering image is Figure 14 shown.

[0081] Therefore, high-energy absorption images, low-energy absorption images, average absorption images, refraction images and scattering images were obtained through the above image processing method to obtain rich sample information.
