XRCT Datasets as experimental research data

This use case is kindly provided by Prof. Holger Steeb and Matthias Ruf (MIB/University of Stuttgart).

PID:

Problem Statement

Porous media, specifically open-pored asphalt concrete, is analysed with an (µ)XRCT (micro X-ray Computed Tomography) scanner. The scanner is a modular hardware system to implement advanced in situ setups

Object of Research and Objective

Porous media analysis, e.g. to detect micro fractures or investigate fatigue behaviour.

Procedure

The whole process of XRCT Scan


  1. Sample preparation and parameters: Samples are prepared, mounted and positioned; X-ray source parameters and detector parameters are set
  2. XRCT Scan: Recording of the primary / raw data (in this specific case the "radiograms") (in two phases: open beam (flat field) and dark images (dark field) (before the actual scan) and object projection image (the actual scan)
A radiogram, the output of step 2
  1. A tomogram, output of the image reconstructions ins step 3
    Image Processing/Reconstruction, that generates the research data (in this specific case "tomograms") from the primary/raw data. Core parts are the reconstruction algorithm, filters, linearization and normalization and correction methods
  1. Post Processing, such as Segmentation, Quantification, Statistics
  2. Data Curation, including Metadata Preparation and Repository ingest of the data

Involved Disciplines

Civil Engineering, Mechanics, Physics, Mathematics

Data Streams

  1. The primary research / raw data after the XRCT scan (this output serves as input for the subsequent step, or other research endeavours)
  2. The research data generated by reconstruction algorithms, filters, linearization, normalization and correction methods from the primary/raw data.
