Abstract
An X-ray inspection system is mounted around conveyor (2). An X-ray source (12) and a number of X-ray detectors record X-ray images of an object (8) such as baggage moving along the conveyor. A visual recordal system (18,22) tracks the motion of the object along the conveyor to identify the location and orientation of the object as it moves along the conveyor. A tomosynthesis image of the object is calculated from the plurality of X-ray images using the location and orientation information from the visual recordal system.
