Abstract

X-ray computed tomography (CT) currently has widespread application in air travel security systems for the purpose of baggage screening. This work presents an implementation of a fully 3D model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) algorithm mapped to a multi-slice helical CT security scanner. We introduce innovations in the data model that are designed to enhance image quality for typical scenes encountered in the security setting. In particular, we explore alternatives in the weighting of the measurements in order to more accurately reconstruct uniform regions and suppress metal artifacts. We compare images from the model-based approach to direct analytical reconstructions, indicating that the MBIR produces higher resolution and lower-noise reconstructions with suppressed metal streaking. The image improvements afforded by MBIR can provide for better operator experience and potentially enable enhanced performance of automatic threat detection (ATD).

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
