SCOPIX: A new X-ray imaging system for core analysis

SCOPIX is a new digital X-ray imaging system for core analysis that uses an X-ray source coupled to a high-energy brightness amplifier and a CCD camera. SCOPIX's numerical files are images in 256 gray levels equal in value to X-ray densities. Possible data processing approaches include: core lo...

Description
Summary:SCOPIX is a new digital X-ray imaging system for core analysis that uses an X-ray source coupled to a high-energy brightness amplifier and a CCD camera. SCOPIX's numerical files are images in 256 gray levels equal in value to X-ray densities. Possible data processing approaches include: core logging using grayscale profiles to define the characteristics of sedimentary sequences and image processing to define and quantify lithologic facies and the geometry of physical and biological structures. Applications are: recognition of facies and sedimentary processes, study of sedimentary rhythms and geological cycles, and study of biological and geochemical processes.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
