Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to a muon detector, a three-dimensional photography imaging method, device and storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Muons are particles with high penetration, and muon detection technology has been applied in many fields due to this characteristic, and muon imaging technology is one of the main technologies. Muon imaging technology can be divided into two categories: transmission imaging and scattering imaging. Scattering imaging, also known as tomographic imaging, is mainly used in nuclear material detection and non-destructive testing of cultural relics. Transmission imaging, also known as photography imaging, has been used in volcanology, mineral exploration and various other industrial and security applications, so the detector used for photography imaging has also attracted much attention. Muon detectors are generally divided into plastic scintillator detectors, gas detectors and nuclear emulsion detectors. Plastic scintillator detectors are easy to machine, have flexible structure design, stable performance, can adapt to different measurement and application occasions, and have low cost, so they can be used on a large scale. Plastic scintillator detectors are the current mainstream detectors, and photography imaging is currently the most important imaging method for large-scale objects.
[0003] However, when the detector collects muon information, other particles in the air will interfere, mainly including alpha particles, beta particles and gamma particles from cosmic ray decay, and the main interfering particles are gamma particles. The energy of gamma particles is low, so the gamma particles that interfere with the muon information collected by the detector are the gamma particles that directly contact the detector in the air, which can greatly affect the imaging accuracy and accuracy of the detector. If the number of detection planes of the detector is large, the cross-layer response method can be used to screen muons, but the number of detection plane layers of the existing photography imaging detector is small, only 2-3 layers, so the cross-layer response method cannot be used, which makes it difficult to shield cosmic rays. In addition, the ultimate goal of using muons to detect objects is to obtain the density structure information of the object. The current mature three-dimensional density structure imaging method is based on a tomographic imaging detector, but its imaging range does not exceed the detection area of the detector, so a large detector is required for imaging large objects, and therefore it is impossible to detect large-scale objects. The imaging range that can be obtained by the detector based on photography imaging can be much larger than the area of the detector itself, but the disadvantage is that a single detection system can only perform two-dimensional imaging, and two-dimensional imaging cannot completely obtain the density structure information of the object. Therefore, how to improve the reliability of obtaining the density structure information of the object and improve the imaging accuracy is a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0059] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a muon detector involved in an embodiment scheme of the present application. A muon detector embodiment is proposed.
[0061] In the present embodiment, the muon detector comprises three layers of detection planes and a lead plate arranged in sequence and in parallel, and three acquisition plates;
[0062] The lead plate is arranged between the second layer of detection planes and the third layer of detection planes;
[0063] The detection plane is composed of a triangular prism-shaped scintillator and a corresponding photoelectric sensor;
[0064] The photoelectric sensor is connected with the acquisition plate;
[0065] The acquisition plate is used to acquire the number of muons passing through the object and the number of muons in the sky.
[0066] As Figure 1 shown, the structure of the muon detector: the detector uses three layers of detection planes, for example, each layer of detection plane has a detection area of 60cm*60cm, and the plane spacing of the three layers of detection planes is 30cm; the detection plane is composed of a triangular prism-shaped scintillator and a corresponding photoelectric detector; for example, each scintillator has a cross section of 50mm*25mm and a length of 60cm. A lead plate with a preset thickness is inserted between the second layer of detection planes and the third layer of detection planes, and the preset thickness is usually 5-10cm.
[0067] Further, in the embodiment, the muon detector further comprises a shell and a rotatable base;
[0068] The three-layer detection plane and the lead plate are packaged in the shell, and the shell is packaged by light-proof aluminum;
[0069] The shell is arranged on the rotatable base, and the rotatable base is rotated to adjust the muon detector at different angles to detect objects.
[0070] It should be noted that the shell of the muon detector is packaged by light-proof aluminum to prevent external light from entering the detector, and the detector is placed on the rotatable base, so that the angle can be adjusted according to different detection objects.
[0071] When the muon detector collects muon information, other particles in the air will interfere, mainly including alpha particles, beta particles and gamma particles generated by cosmic ray decay, and different particles have different penetration abilities, such as Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the penetration ability of different particles, and the main interference is caused by gamma particles, so the main shielding object is gamma particles, and a certain thickness of lead plate is arranged between the detection planes to shield the gamma particles. The first layer and the second layer of the detection plane are used to count the incident position and angle information of the muons, and the third layer of the detection plane behind the lead plate is used to count the number of collected muons, and the events responded by the three-layer detection plane at the same time are determined as muon events.
[0072] The muon detector is used to collect muon information at different angles, the flux attenuation coefficient at different angles is calculated after the number of muons and time information are obtained, the minimum energy of the muons passing through the object is calculated by using the flux attenuation coefficient, and then the opacity of the object is calculated to obtain the opacity image of the object at different angles; a physical model of the detected object is established and is divided into a plurality of voxels, and the initial density of the object is set. The path length of each muon in each voxel is calculated by using the established voxel model, and the iteration of the density is performed in combination with the opacity image and the initial density, and the optimal object density is obtained when the density error is less than the minimum error range.
[0073] Based on the hardware structure of the muon detector, an embodiment of the three-dimensional photographic imaging method is provided.
[0074] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the three-dimensional photographic imaging method, and the first embodiment of the three-dimensional photographic imaging method is applied to the muon detector in the above embodiment.
[0075] In the first embodiment, the three-dimensional photographic imaging method comprises the following steps:
[0076] Step S10: Obtain the number of muons passing through the object and the number of sky muons collected by the muon detector.
[0077] In this specific implementation, the execution entity is the muon detector. The position of the muon is calculated by measuring the energy deposition of the muon as it passes through the first and second detection planes, and the angle at which the muon enters the detector is calculated. After the muon passes through the third detection plane, the muon is then... Figure 4 The logic shown indicates that muon events are stored and transmitted after a certain determination. Placing a lead plate between the second and third detection planes does not interfere with the calculation of muon positions and incident angles. This also means that adding a lead plate, while shielding gamma particles, does not affect the accuracy of the final density calculation and imaging precision. A triangular prism scintillator acts as a channel. The muon detector outputs information such as the position, time, energy, and quantity of muons hitting the scintillator, as well as the number of muons passing through the object and the number of muons in the sky collected by the muon detector.
[0078] Furthermore, prior to step S10, the procedure also includes:
[0079] The number of channels through which the muons pass is calculated based on the signals collected by the acquisition board in the muon detector.
[0080] Determine whether the number of channels is a preset value;
[0081] If the number of channels is a preset value, they are merged and stored as a muon event.
[0082] It should be noted that the preset value is 6. In order to improve imaging efficiency, before step S10, the number of channels through which the muon passes is calculated to determine whether it is a muon event. Since the muon detector has three layers and the number of channels through each layer is 2, when the number of channels is 6, it is identified as a muon event, and it is then merged and stored as a muon event before continuing to execute the subsequent step S10.
[0083] Step S20: Calculate the opacity of the object based on the number of muons passing through the object and the number of sky muons.
[0084] Understandably, the key to calculating the density of an object in a three-dimensional density imaging method lies in the object's opacity and the track information of muons passing through the object. The density is solved using these two parts, and the core formula is Equation (1):
[0085]
[0086] In the formula, O is the object opacity vector matrix, which is composed of opacity matrices obtained from different angles; ρ is the density of the object to be measured; and A is the track matrix of the muon passing through the object.
[0087] Further, the step S20 comprises:
[0088] According to the number of muons passing through the object and the number of muons in the sky, the flux attenuation coefficient of muons passing through the object is calculated;
[0089] According to the flux attenuation coefficient of muons, the minimum passing energy of muons passing through the object is calculated;
[0090] According to the minimum passing energy, the opacity of the object is calculated.
[0091] It should be noted that ③ single angle opacity: the opacity of the object is related to the flux attenuation coefficient of muons passing through the object, which is expressed as formula (2):
[0092]
[0093] In the formula, the actual flux attenuation coefficient is N exp , N out and N in are the number of muons collected by the detector and the number of muons in the sky, T out and T in are the time of the detector collecting muons passing through the city wall and collecting open sky muons.
[0094] The minimum energy E min of muons passing through the object is calculated by the theoretical flux attenuation coefficient from formula (3):
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] In the formula, φ is the muon energy spectrum, expressed as formula (4), η is the position resolution of the detector, and in actual calculation, N prd =N exp to get the minimum energy E min value.
[0098] After calculating the minimum energy E min of muons passing through the object, the opacity of the object is calculated by formula (5), which is as follows:
[0099]
[0100] In the formula, o is the opacity of muons passing through the object, E v =0.10566 GeV is the rest mass of muons.
[0101] The energy average loss rate is calculated as formula (6):
[0102]
[0103] where a and b are functions of the material properties through which the mesons propagate, a represents the ionization-induced energy loss, and b represents the nuclear interaction and pair production, and in the range of energy less than 100 GeV, a = 2.0 MeV cm 2 / g and b = 3.5 x 10 -6 cm 2 / g can be used in numerical calculation. Therefore, the energy loss rate is usually set as a constant, 2.0 MeV cm 2 / g.
[0104] The object opacity can be calculated by the measured muon flux attenuation coefficient through equations (2) to (6).
[0105] Step S30: calculating the density error according to the opacity, and calculating the density of the object according to the density error.
[0106] It is to be noted that ② muon voxel track:
[0107] After the above process, assuming that M sets of two-dimensional radiographic images are taken, the equation as shown in equation (7) is obtained on the basis of equation (1), and each matrix element in the O matrix is the opacity data obtained from the two-dimensional images:
[0108]
[0109] 1) The area where the object to be measured is located is divided into a plurality of (N v ) independent volumes, each independent volume is referred to as a voxel, and each voxel is used as a storage unit to store the initial density of the object and the track information when the muon passes through;
[0110] 2) Each two-dimensional radiographic image is divided into a plurality of independent area measurement values, and the image is divided in the following manner: according to the coordinate position of the muon impact and according to the tangent value of the impact angle of the muon. Each two-dimensional image obtains n m =n x x n y x n tw x n wu independent measurement values, in short, each independent area image contains the position information and angle information of the muon. The impact angle is the angle of the muon projected on the tw and uw plane. As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the twu coordinate system.
[0111] 3) The element in [a] is defined as a k,v , and the element expression is as follows:
[0112]
[0113] where m k is the number of muons in the kth independent area; d is the distance of the lth muon in the kth independent area to pass through voxel v. In short, this element refers to the average value of the path of muons in each independent area to pass through 1 voxel.
[0114] Further, in the embodiment, the calculating the density of the object according to the density error comprises:
[0115] using a joint algebra reconstruction algorithm formula to obtain the density of the object by optimal solution approximation according to the density error; the joint algebra reconstruction algorithm formula is:
[0116]
[0117] wherein, denotes the density after the jth iteration in the vth voxel, is the density error.
[0118] 3. Density solving method:
[0119] In formula (7), the ρ to be inverted is the solution of this set of equations. However, there is a problem in solving this set of equations: usually, the number of inputs is less than the number of unknowns, that is, the sum N m of independent measurements provided by all two-dimensional images is less than the number N v of voxels of the object, so an iterative method needs to be used to solve this problem, and here a joint algebra reconstruction algorithm is used to obtain the required ρ by optimal solution approximation, and the solving method is as follows:
[0120]
[0121] In formula (9), the correction value denotes the density after the jth iteration in the vth voxel.
[0122] Further, in the embodiment, the step S30 comprises:
[0123] splitting the opacity into an independent opacity matrix;
[0124] performing voxel traversal on the muons in the independent opacity matrix to obtain a voxel track;
[0125] calculating a density error according to the voxel track.
[0126] It should be understood that the calculation method of in formula (9) is shown in formula (10):
[0127]
[0128] In formula (10), A is the opacity matrix corresponding to the density vector of the mth group of photographic images in the j-1th iteration, and the calculation formula is shown in formula 3.11; A m,v is the track of the mth group of photographic images at the vth voxel; and wm is a weighting factor considering the statistical accuracy of the mth measurement, and the weight is taken as the square root of the number of muons in the current voxel measurement.
[0129]
[0130] Briefly, the density iteration method is to determine the correction value of the same voxel by using the error of all rays passing through the same voxel at different projection angles.
[0131] The three-dimensional density reconstruction of the detected object can be completed through the above three parts.
[0132] Step S40: comparing whether the density error is less than the minimum error.
[0133] Step S50: if the density error is less than the minimum error, outputting the density of the object.
[0134] In a specific implementation, the density calculation of the object is to obtain the required density by optimal solution approximation through the joint algebra reconstruction algorithm, so that the calculated density is evaluated in the iteration calculation process, and when the density error is less than the minimum error, the obtained density is determined as the optimal solution. If the density error is greater than or equal to the minimum error, the density is updated through the joint algebra reconstruction algorithm.
[0135] In order to verify the performance difference between the muon detector structure of the application and the traditional detector structure, GEANT4 is used to evaluate the performance of the following three detector structures, which are three-layer detection planes containing lead plates, three-layer detection planes without lead plates and traditional two-layer detection planes. The muon detection efficiency, muon rejection rate and gamma particle rejection rate of the three detector structures are compared.
[0136] The calculation formula of the detection efficiency σ is formula (12)
[0137]
[0138] In the formula, N p1 and N p3 respectively represent the number of muons detected by the first layer detection plane and the number of muons detected by the third layer detection plane.
[0139] In order to ensure that the muon screening rate is closer to the real effect, the zenith angle distribution and the energy spectrum of muons are simulated and used, the simulation results are shown in Figure 6 The average value of the zenith angle of muons is 38.23°, and the average energy of muons is 3.99 GeV. Figure 6 The muon particle source simulation diagram is shown in Figure 6 (a) is a muon zenith angle distribution diagram, Figure 6 (b) is a muon energy spectrum distribution diagram.
[0140] The effects of the three schemes are compared as follows, Figure 7 The muon detection efficiency comparison diagram is shown in Figure 8 The gamma particle screening rate comparison diagram is shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the table, 1 represents a 3-layer detection plane detector containing a lead plate; 2 represents a 3-layer detection plane detector without a lead plate, and 3 represents a 2-layer detection plane detector.
[0141] Table 1 Comparison table of performance of detectors with different structures
[0142] Number of detection planes 3 layers (with lead plate) 3 layers 2 layers Muon detection efficiency 50.8% 51.1% 71.4% Muon rejection rate 0.02% 0 0 Gamma survival rate 1.57% 72.12% 88.32%
[0143] According to the comparison results, the muon detection efficiency of the traditional two-layer detection plane structure is about 70%, and the use of a 3-layer detection plane will reduce the detection efficiency to about 50% to some extent; however, the gamma particle screening rate of the two-layer detection plane is only 12%, and the gamma particle screening rate of the three-layer detection plane with a lead plate can reach more than 98%, which indicates that the structure can greatly improve the gamma particle screening rate while not greatly reducing the muon detection efficiency, is very effective in shielding gamma particles, and greatly reduces the influence of background noise interference on imaging accuracy.
[0144] In the embodiment, a new muon detector capable of shielding background noise and a three-dimensional imaging method of combining multiple two-dimensional images are provided. The detector has three layers, and a lead plate is added between the detection planes, which can effectively shield gamma particles in the air, reduce background noise interference, and improve imaging accuracy; the three-dimensional imaging method can have a clearer understanding of the density structure information of the detected object, and increase the reliability of the detection result.
