Measuring radon exhalation rate by tracing the radon concentration of ventilation-type accumulation chamber

Radon exhalation rate is crucial in the estimation of radiation risk from various materials. RAD7 only focus on the count of the ²¹⁸Po in sniff mode, and is well suited to measure radon exhalation rates. This paper presents a fast method for measuring radon exhalation from medium surface with a ventilation-type accumulation chamber by the RAD7 while making the effects of leakage and back diffusion negligible. The radon exhalation rate can be obtained from the measured values before radioactive equilibrium between Radon and progeny occurs. This method is based on the principle for tracing radon concentration changes by deriving ²²²Rn concentrations through ²¹⁸Po measurements. Several radon exhalation rate measurements of medium surface have been performed in the Radon Laboratory of the University of South China. The radon exhalation rates obtained by verification experiments are within the accepted values for the reference value.     

基于图像跟踪的孔洞目标提取与区域定位研究

针对纤维材料图像分割后提取的目标图像孔洞之间粘连明显、不封闭、分布不均匀和大小不一等特点,采用常规链码与带方向链码两种跟踪手段,运用链码差实现了对边缘的方向性表示.通过结合三点圆拟合算法,对目标孔洞边缘进行了补全,再用链码跟踪所获得的边缘信息对拟合边缘进行修正,实现了对目标孔洞区域的有效定位.
