Coded aperture imaging application in one-sided imaging of visually obscured objects
Scott, William (2011-05-17)The physical properties of visible light and its interaction with matter create obstructions the human eye cannot explore. High energy radiation has been used as an alternative to visible light to penetrate these concealed ... -
A comparison of three computational phantoms for calibration of a radiation portal monitor used for measurement of internal contamination.
Bellman, Christopher (2014-12-01)The goal of this research was to investigate if portal monitors could measure internally deposited radioisotopes over a short count time (1 second) with a detection limit sufficient to measure 1/10 of an annual limit on ... -
Design and characterization of next-generation tissue equivalent proportional counters for use in low energy neutron fields
Ali, Fawaz (2014-04-01)Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters (TEPCs) are devices that can measure the radiation dose levels for the mixed neutron and gamma ray fields that are encountered in nuclear facilities. TEPC designs typically consist ... -
Development of an autonomous radiation mapping robot
Hosmar, Michael Edward (2017-04-01)The development of an autonomous robotic platform for generating radiation maps is presented. An integrated autonomous exploration algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and the ability to accurately localize ... -
Localization of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
Manning, Mark (2017-06-01)This thesis discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and ... -
New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
Chaput, Joseph (2022-08-01)Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ... -
Robotic radiation mapping using modelling and probabilistic analysis of sparse data
McDougall, Robin (2015-07-01)An approach for generating radiation intensity maps, comprised of a mobile robotic platform and an integrated radiation model, is presented, and its ability to generate accurate radiation maps in simulation studies as well ...
