However, CMOS cameras have pattern noise, and image quality may be affected; furthermore, the interval time between two images is usually as short as 500ns; in addition, when two images are shot, the gain of the image intensifier cannot be changed, namely the sensitivity of the camera is the same, so that two dual-energy-section pulse neutron images with larger neutron flux difference cannot be shot.

A radiation probe 7 is arranged near the beam path or source region where pulsed neutrons can be detected for providing a trigger synchronization signal for pulsed neutron image detection. The image conversion screen 1 can be a scintillator or a scintillation fiber array; when the scintillator is selected as the image conversion screen 1, the first image coupling structure 2 is an imaging lens; when the image conversion screen 1 is a scintillation fiber array, the first image coupling structure 2 is a light cone. The image intensifier 3 is an image intensifier 3 with a phosphor screen afterglow time of less than 100ns, for example, a P47 phosphor screen image intensifier 3 of Photok company can be selected, and the afterglow time is about 80ns. The second image coupling structure 4 may be a lens or a light cone, and when the second image coupling structure is a light cone, it is required to ensure that the image intensifier 3 and the camera 5 have an optical fiber panel output window and an optical fiber panel input window, respectively. Camera 5 is a CMOS camera that completes switching from the end of the first frame exposure to the beginning of the second frame exposure in less than 200 ns. For example, a CMOS camera developed based on LUXIMA model number LUX1310 chip may be used.
The spatial response uniformity calibration and time trigger system 8 includes a pulsed uniform radiation source 81 and a trigger control unit 82; the pulsed uniform radiation source 81 is connected to the trigger control unit 82 for calibrating the spatial response uniformity of the image detection system so that the image detection system provides an accurate spatial distribution of neutron flux. The trigger control unit 82 includes a signal generator 821 and an image intensifier control circuit 822. The signal generator 821 is synchronized with the pulse uniform radiation source 81, specifically, when the pulse uniform radiation source 81 cannot be triggered externally, but the synchronous characteristic signal output can be provided before the pulse radiation source irradiates, the signal generator 821 can be triggered by the synchronous characteristic signal of the pulse uniform radiation source 81; when the pulse uniform radiation source 81 has an external trigger function and can be precisely synchronized with an external trigger signal, the pulse uniform radiation source 81 may be triggered by the signal generator 821. The signal generator 821 is connected to the image intensifier control circuit 822 and the camera 5, and supplies a synchronization trigger signal of the image intensifier control circuit 822 and the camera 5.
As shown in fig. 4, the image intensifier control circuit 822 includes a pulse signal generating unit 9 and an image intensifier driving unit 10; the pulse signal generating unit 9 includes a double pulse generating unit 92 whose delay pulse width is adjustable and a single pulse generating unit 91 whose delay pulse width is adjustable. May be implemented using a 74LS221 monostable chip or FPGA. The image intensifier driving unit 10 includes a first MOS transistor switch circuit 11 and a second MOS transistor switch circuit 12. The input end of the first MOS tube switch circuit 11 is connected with the output end of the double pulse generating unit 92 with adjustable time-delay pulse width, and the output end is connected with the photocathode 34 of the image intensifier 3; the input end of the second MOS transistor switch circuit 12 is connected with the output end of the single pulse generating unit 91 with adjustable time-delay pulse width, and the output end is connected with the micro-channel plate output end 32 of the image intensifier 3.
The double-pulse generating unit 92 with adjustable delay pulse width outputs double-rectangular low-voltage pulses, the double-rectangular low-voltage pulses are converted into double-rectangular negative high-voltage pulses through the first MOS tube switching circuit, and the image intensifier 3 is controlled to finish opening the door twice according to the preset door opening time and door opening width; when the voltage output to the photocathode 34 by the first MOS transistor switching circuit is 0V, the image intensifier 3 is closed, and when the voltage is-250V, the image intensifier 3 is opened.
The single pulse generating unit 91 with adjustable delay pulse width outputs a single rectangular low voltage pulse according to a predetermined gain adjustment time and a duration width of gain adjustment, sets a single rectangular high voltage pulse amplitude according to a predetermined gain coefficient, converts the single rectangular low voltage pulse into a single rectangular negative high voltage pulse through the second MOS transistor switch circuit 12, controls the gain coefficient (same as the predetermined gain coefficient) of the image intensifier 3 when the door is opened at one time, and can be preset by setting the initial gain high voltage of the microchannel plate output end 32 when the door is opened at the other time according to detection needs. The second MOS transistor switch circuit outputs a rectangular negative high voltage pulse to the microchannel plate output end 32, and can instantaneously lower the gain coefficient of the image intensifier 3, when the voltage output to the microchannel plate output end 32 by the second MOS transistor switch circuit is 0V, the gain coefficient of the image intensifier 3 is unchanged, and when the voltage is a certain negative pressure between 0 and-500V, the gain coefficient of the image intensifier 3 is reduced, and the reduced gain coefficient corresponds to the negative pressure amplitude. The initial voltage of the microchannel plate output end 32 relative to the ground potential can be adjusted between 500V and 1000V, and the initial voltage is used for setting the gain of the microchannel plate in an initial state, when the second MOS switch circuit 12 outputs a rectangular negative high-voltage pulse with adjustable amplitude of 0V to-500V, the gain of the image enhancement is instantly reduced, the gain of the image enhancer 3 can only be instantly reduced according to the scheme provided at present, and the gain corresponding to one image of the two images can be selected for reduction adjustment according to the actual situation. It should be noted that it is technically feasible to use rectangular positive high voltage pulses for gain adjustment, i.e. to select a gain corresponding to one of the two images for gain increase adjustment according to the actual situation. When the test is performed on the stigmata image intensifier 3, after the second MOS transistor switch circuit 12 outputs the negative high voltage for 75ns, the gain adjustment of the image intensifier 3 is completed, so that the sensitivity of the image detection system can be adjusted instantaneously when a certain sub-image intensifier 3 is opened according to the requirement.
Compared with the prior art, the invention can precisely control the exposure time of the camera 5 and the moment and width of the image intensifier 3 when opening the door twice by triggering the control unit 82, so that the optimal configuration of the time relationship can be realized, and the shortest interval time of the two images can reach 300ns; on the other hand, the gain high voltage of the microchannel plate output end 32 can be adjusted instantaneously, when the system sets the gain voltage for detecting one image, the detection sensitivity of the system can be adjusted instantaneously by adjusting the gain high voltage of the microchannel plate output end 32 instantaneously when detecting the other image, so as to adapt to the detection of the other image, and the adjustment range can be up to 1000 times at maximum. Therefore, the invention improves the comparison precision of the two double-energy-section neutron images and improves the adaptability of the double-energy-section neutron image detection with larger neutron flux difference.
The invention can also accurately calibrate the uniformity of the system space response in different source strong illumination by adjusting the intensity of the pulse uniform radiation source 81, thereby improving the consistency and the accurate comparability of the detection results at different positions in space.
The pulsed uniform radiation source 81 of the present invention may be a radiation source or a light source, and when it is a radiation source, is placed in front of the image conversion screen 1, the radiation source is uniformly illuminated on the image conversion screen 1 spatially, so that the spatial response uniformity of the whole system can be calibrated, and when it is a light source, is placed in front of the image intensifier 3, the light source is uniformly illuminated on the image plane of the image intensifier 3 spatially, so that the spatial response uniformity of the image detection system in which the image intensifier 3 and the camera 5 are combined can be calibrated.
The calibration process of the system space response uniformity is as follows: first, a pulsed homogeneous radiation source 81 is placed in a suitable position in front of the image conversion screen 1 if the radiation source is a radiation source and in front of the image intensifier 3 if the radiation source is a light source. Secondly, setting proper opening time, opening width and gain coefficient of the image intensifier 3 according to the irradiation time of the pulse uniform radiation source, and setting proper exposure time of the camera 5 to ensure that the gray scale of the acquired image is close to saturation when the radiation source intensity is maximum, wherein the gain coefficient of the image intensifier 3 needs to be set as the gain coefficient when formally detecting the pulse neutron image as much as possible, because the spatial response uniformity of the image intensifier 3 is slightly different under different gain conditions. Finally, the intensity of the radiation source is adjusted through the attenuation sheet and distance adjustment, and image data under different intensities are obtained and used as calibration data of the spatial response uniformity of the system. The image gray scale is close to saturation and the image gray scale is background data, and the image gray scale is background data corresponding to zero radiation source intensity. The radiation source intensity is preferably attenuated gradually according to equal multiples, such as 2 times or 1.5 times, so that the image can find two effective gray data in a multiple interval for comparison correction in a larger dynamic range.
The calibration result of the system space response uniformity is used as follows: as shown in fig. 2, the obtained image can be regarded as an m×n matrix, and the gray value of each pixel is represented by adu i,j And (3) representing that i takes values from 1 to m, and j takes values from 1 to n. Since the uniform source of radiation is applied to the image detection system, each pixel receives the same intensity of illumination, denoted by I, and a series of intensities I are selected k Wherein k is a value from 1 to s, the intensity is gradually increased, I 1 When no illumination intensity exists, the corresponding image gray scale is background data, I s The intensity of the illumination corresponds to the gray value of the acquired image approaching saturation. Thus corresponding to each illumination intensity I k Each pixel corresponds to a gray value adu i,j _I k .

According to the calibration process of the system space response uniformity, when the pulse uniform radiation source 81 is selected as a light source to irradiate the image intensifier 3 for space response uniformity calibration, after calibration, the image intensifier 3 is irradiated by a uniform source with specific intensity to obtain an original gray value image, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, vertical stripes in the image are caused by mode noise of the CMOS camera 5, and the calibration result is used for interpolation to give a relative light intensity space distribution image irradiated on the image intensifier 3, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, and the result reflects the uniform light intensity space distribution irradiated on the image intensifier 3.

Before the experiment starts, a light source is selected as a pulse uniform radiation source 81, and the spatial response uniformity of an image detection system formed by the image intensifier 3 and the camera 5 is calibrated. The radiation probe 7 employs a detector of ST401 scintillator in combination with 9815 photomultiplier, placed on the beam path and after the image detection system, the gamma signal waveform detected by the detector is used to trigger the signal generator 821, the signal generator 821 triggers the image intensifier control circuit 822 and the camera 5. The trigger image booster control circuit 822 needs two signals, one is used for triggering the double pulse generating unit 92 with adjustable delay pulse width, and the other is used for triggering the single pulse generating unit 91 with adjustable delay pulse width.

The moment of opening the door of the second image intensifier 3 can be determined. According to neutron flux to be shot, setting a gain coefficient when two images are shot, setting the gain coefficient by directly setting a high voltage amplitude value loaded at the output end 32 of the microchannel plate at initial time by the image with high gain, setting the gain coefficient by setting a rectangular negative high voltage pulse amplitude value output by the second MOS tube switch circuit 12 by the image with low gain, and simultaneously, taking care that the time for outputting the rectangular negative high voltage by the second MOS tube switch circuit 12 is synchronous with the door opening time and the door opening width of the image intensifier 3 of the image with the adjusted gain, the time for outputting the negative high voltage is earlier than the door opening time by 75ns, and the time for outputting the negative high voltage can be the same as the door closing time. The exposure time of the two images of the camera 5 is set according to the opening time and the opening width of the image intensifier 3, so that the exposure of the first frame image of the CMOS camera 5 is ensured to be finished after the afterglow of the first image output by the image intensifier 3 is finished, and the CMOS camera 5 waits for 200ns to enter the second frame exposure after the exposure of the first frame image is finished, therefore, the time from the opening of the first image of the image intensifier 3 to the opening of the second image is required to wait for 300ns at least, and the time is that two images are shotMinimum separation time of sub-images in the amplitude dual-band pulse. In order to avoid radiation of the beam path from affecting devices such as the image intensifier 3 and the camera 5, a reflecting mirror can be added in the first image coupling structure 2 to enable the light path to be reflected vertically, so that the image intensifier 3 and the camera 5 are ensured to be far away from the beam path.
