The application discloses a material identification method based on adaptive quantitative
decomposition, and establishes a polynomial relationship between coefficients participating in material identification and energy and
effective atomic number in the interaction of rays and materials. Then, a plurality of known materials are used as calibration materials to perform scanning and reconstruction. Based on the linear attenuation coefficients of different energy regions of the calibration materials, the real
effective atomic number and density of the calibration materials, and the polynomial relationship obtained previously, the
effective energy of the corresponding energy region is determined. In actual operation, after scanning and reconstruction of the material to be decomposed, the
effective energy is determined through calibration, the linear attenuation coefficients of different energy regions are only related to the
effective atomic number and density, and through simultaneous solution of two
ray and material interaction formulas containing variable parameters, the effective
atomic number and density of the scanned material can be accurately obtained. The application can automatically adjust the related coefficients according to different materials, thereby improving the
decomposition precision.
