For non-destructive testing of objects, an inexpensive 2D X-ray scanner has been created at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding
Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, which is based on a digital mini sensor. Scan ning with such a sensor allows multiplying the
working testing area. The fragments of digital X-ray images obtained during scanning are stitched into a full-format digital
image by software. Image stitching algorithms are being studied, which allow increasing the scanning accuracy to 20 microns.
This scanning accuracy is much higher than that of a scanner with an electromechanical drive. 6 Ref., 7 Fig.
