APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF RADIATION

摘要

Systems and methods for identifying pixels in digital images and video images that have interacted with high energy particles are described herein and using this system to coordination imagers and network alerts to permit the system to separate non-radioactive objects from radioactive objects.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more image detectors, each image detector comprising a pixilated chip designed and configured to detect light to produce images from ambient light; one or more processors in communication with the one or more image detectors, the processor being capable of detecting pixelated chips having one or more pixels that have interacted with a high energy particle in real time and generating an alert signal identifying at least one of the one or more image detectors having one or more pixels that have interacted with a high energy particle; and a command center in communication with the one or more processors, the command center being capable of receiving the alert signal from the one or more processors and transmitting a signal to the one or more processors, one or more additional processors, or combinations thereof, said processors being capable of interpreting said signal to at least perform additional analysis on the pixilated image detectors to determine additional interactions with high energy particles.
