Reconstruction Algorithm
• Nutating Slice Reconstruction
• Prerequisite: cone beam data corrected for detector imperfections

SKYpack* Computer
• Application-specific repackaging of standard 6U VME product– originally developed for DARPA SAST
program
• Dual use in commercial applications– explosives detection– medical CT image reconstruction*SKY Computers, Chelmsford, MA

SKYpack Components
• 1 RISC processor for I/O control• 12 RISC processors for compute
processing– Labeled AP0-11 in diagram
• 6 SHARC processors• 6 ASIC processors• Shared Bus: SKYchannel

SKYpack Partitioning
• High and low energy images reconstructed on different SKYpacks
• Processes are data driven and asynchronous

SKYpack Partitioning• System processor distributes cone
beam data to AP 0-7• AP 0 does RS232 communication and
controls other processors• AP 0-7 correct and convert cone to
hybrid data• Each cone view contributes to 22
slices, every 12th view a new slice is created
![Page 13: EXACT TM CT Scanner EXACT: The heart of an FAA-certified Explosives Detection Scanner 3-D Image.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e445503460f94b3804c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SKYpack Partitioning• AP 8-9 convert hybrid data to parallel • SHARCs high pass filter parallel data
using FFT• ASICs backproject filtered data into
tilted slices• AP 10 untilts tilted slices into parallel• AP 11 formats images and carries out
SCSI communication

Verification and Validation
• Offline, single process software was implemented
• Simulations to verify offline software
• Intermediate results from offline software matched with online software

Automatic Detection Subsystem
• Consists of four processors• Does image analysis, archiving and
display• Image data is propagated along two
paths that search for two classes of explosives
• Each path uses detection and discrimination algorithms
