Patent Images
1. An apparatus for detecting a volume of a foreign substance existed in a core of a geological sample using a computer tomography apparatus comprising:
- a CT beam transmission part for transmitting a CT beam to a core of a geological sample rotated by a rotation motor;
a core fixing part for fixing the core thereto;
the rotation motor for rotating the core fixing part to which the core is fixed;
a detector for acquiring the CT beam transmitted through the CT beam transmission part;
an image acquisition part for acquiring slice images analyzed by the detector;
an image storing part for storing the slice images acquired by the image acquisition part;
a count range acquisition part for acquiring a count range for measuring the volume;
a gray level range acquisition part for acquiring a gray level range of a specific object in the slice;
a central controller for receiving the count range acquired by the count range acquisition part and the gray level range acquired by the gray level range acquisition part, counting a number of all pixels within the count range, detecting gray level of each of the all pixels within the count range, and counting a number of pixels having a gray level within the received gray level range; and
a report output part for outputting results processed by the central controller.
