Multi-Material Components (MMCs) • Most industrial parts are MMCs • Materials: • Air • Plastic • Metal Artem Amirkhanov
Metal Artifacts • Appear in MMCs • Metal artifacts • Dark-band artifacts • Streak-noise artifacts • Caused by beam hardening • Bad for • Material characterization • Measurements Dark-band artifacts Streak-noise artifacts Artem Amirkhanov
Our Contributions • Adaptation of a projection-based metal artifacts reduction(MAR) workflow for 3DXCT • Integrated visual analysis tool Integrated VA Tool MAR Workflow Artem Amirkhanov
Main Idea • Artifacts source: projections • We remove metal from projections • We then reconstruct the 3D volume with reduced artifacts • We insert the metal back into this volume Streak-noise artifacts Artem Amirkhanov

Forward Projection Projection • Works as follows: • Project every metal voxel on every projection Specimen X-ray source Rotary plate Artem Amirkhanov
Forward Projection • Partially covered pixels • We overestimate partially covered pixels Voxel center Covered pixels Projection Metal voxel projection Length of projected voxel diagonal 11 Artem Amirkhanov
