System and method for combining 3D images in color

A system for generating a view of an interior of an object, the system comprising:

• a scanner for scanning the object with penetrating radiation and measuring the transmission of the penetrating radiation through the object;
• a processing circuit;
• and
• a display,
• the processing circuit being configured to:
• project a first processed density array onto a plane to form a plurality of first pixel values at a plurality of corresponding pixel locations, the projecting comprising:
• forming a vector for each pixel, the vector corresponding to one or more array elements of a plurality of array elements along a line perpendicular to the plane and passing through the pixel location;
• calculating one or more statistics for each vector;
• and
• calculating the first pixel value for each vector as a weighted sum of the one or more statistics.

A system for generating a view of an interior of an object, the system comprising:

• a processing circuit;
• a non-transitory storage medium;
• and
• a display,
• the non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to:
• project a processed density array onto a plane to form a plurality of pixel values at a plurality of pixel locations, the projecting comprising:
• forming a vector for each pixel, the vector corresponding to array elements, of a plurality of array elements of the processed density array, along a line perpendicular to the plane and passing through the pixel location;
• calculating one or more statistics for each vector;
• and
• calculating the pixel value for each vector as a weighted sum of the one or more statistics.
