Abstract
With filmless radiographic inspection of components by means of digital X-ray technology, an uneven surface geometry of the component is smoothened by defining a digital virtual smoothening layer for better, preferably automated, recognition of defects, where the digital radiation signals generated by an X-ray detector are overlaid with digitized surface measurement signals, so that a change in absorption and intensity of radiation due to the surface topography of the component, i.e. due to an uneven surface, is compensated for and only a density caused by internal material defects is represented in the X-ray image.
