Abstract
An X-ray apparatus is provided that identifies an imaging region based on images generated from an RGB camera and a 3D camera, calculates a thickness of the imaging region using depth map data generated by the 3D camera, and determines values of exposure parameters used during X-ray imaging based on the calculated thickness value, thereby having a technical effect of allowing an appropriate amount of radiation to be irradiated to the imaging region.
Claims9
An X-ray apparatus comprising:
- an RGB camera configured to generate an RGB image of an imaging region;
- a 3D camera configured to measure a distance to the imaging region and generate a depth map image;
- a controller configured to, based on the RGB image and the depth map image, identify the imaging region and measure a thickness of the identified imaging region, and set an exposure parameter based on the measured thickness of the imaging region;
- and
- an X-ray imager configured to generate an X-ray image of the imaging region by irradiating the imaging region using the exposure parameter set by the controller.
