Abstract

Several acquisitions of digital radiographic images of an element of interest are made, by using a moving camera rotating around the element of interest in a plane parallel to the plane of a section, a matching stage is carried out in which projected elements are located in all the acquired images, corresponding respectively to the projections of the element of interest in those acquired images. The width of each projected element is determined and the section of the element of interest is reconstructed from the different widths determined.
