AI Technical Summary
Current systems for detecting and locating radioactive sources in contaminated environments are limited by poor geometric interrelation between gamma radiation detectors and visible-light cameras, leading to inconsistent results and inability to perform continuous, effective three-dimensional mapping, especially in enclosed spaces.
A system that combines a gamma radiation detector with an optical transducer, using collimation mechanisms and projective imaging techniques to create a three-dimensional cone-shaped measurement field, allowing precise determination of radioactive source position and intensity by correlating gamma radiation measurements with visual references, enabling continuous movement and real-time data aggregation.
Enables accurate, continuous three-dimensional mapping and real-time detection of radioactive sources, improving measurement quality and reducing manual intervention, with the ability to adapt to changing positions and orientations, facilitating effective surveillance in various environments.
