In these X-ray inspection apparatuses for automatic discrimination, particularly those using the pattern recognition method, edge extraction or 2 is performed in order to accurately collate the X-ray fluoroscopic image with the sample pattern.
Since it is necessary to perform the digitization processing and the like, it takes a lot of processing time. Therefore, when the automatic discrimination X-ray inspection apparatus is attached to the conveyor, the automatic discrimination X-ray inspection apparatus is provided on the upstream side of the X-ray fluoroscopic inspection apparatus that merely obtains the X-ray fluoroscopic image. It is provided at a predetermined distance from the device.

In any case, two X-ray detectors are required, one for the X-ray fluoroscopy inspection apparatus and one for the automatic discrimination X-ray inspection apparatus. On the other hand, it is conceivable that there is only one X-ray source, but in this case, the X-ray source must be positioned higher above the conveyor in order to widen the X-ray irradiation area. In addition, since X-ray attenuation due to this (attenuation in inverse proportion to the square of the distance) must be covered, a large output is required, which is not practical and the resolution of the obtained image is high. This causes problems such as poor visibility of the X-ray fluoroscopic image displayed on the monitor and a decrease in the accuracy of discriminating an inappropriate processing object.

Further, when the width of the conveyor is increased to increase the waste processing capacity, one X-ray source and one X-ray detector are provided for the X-ray fluoroscopic inspection apparatus and the X-ray inspection apparatus for automatic discrimination. In the above-described configuration in which pairs are provided, an additional pair of X-ray source and X-ray detector is required, and in the case illustrated in FIG. 4, an additional 2 pairs (4 pairs in total) must be provided. Became more prominent. Here, when the conveyor width is widened, two pairs of X-ray sources and X-ray detectors are arranged side by side in the conveyor width direction as illustrated in FIG. This is because the X-ray irradiation area must be widened, and the resolution of the image obtained as described above will deteriorate.
