this is an x-ray of a common 'household' object.

The bit of metal wire isnt meant to be there.

Any guesses as to what it is?

next question then:

why is gusters x raying a tampon?

I know coz I'm new aged man. Probably.

REgarding the wire - I think they should design them with little bits of metal in them.

I'm off chicks at the mo, BTW!

I thought it was too easy - it is a tampon.

X-raying sad things is my life. Its usually food stuffs, but once in a while I get summat unusual - thats from a few years ago.

this should also be pretty easy - you would have eaten a few of these..... Rescued attachment mystery2.jpg

surely too short for a kit kat?!

stephen_gusterson - 22/4/04 at 02:16 PM

yep - im being way too easy on you.

the straggly bits are excess chocolate.

Its not the right aspect ratio in the image.


this one might be a bit more difficult.... Rescued attachment mystery3.jpg

Ah so you must be into vision systems then Steve...we are too, although all our images are conventional rather than x-ray..

Pretty cool stuff huh?

Kitlooney1000 - 22/4/04 at 02:42 PM

Can you fit a locost in your X ray machine, that would be good to see

timf - 22/4/04 at 03:00 PM

i remember comming back from belguim after a rally with the rally barge complete with 8 or so spare mag wheels and the customs and excise man saying he may have to x ray the wheels to make sure there was nothimg in them. he couldn't work out why we were so helpful.

Mr Kipling, fondent fancy. Made me hungry now

Its kinda machine vision - one of our products is heavily vision based, but luckily someone else gets to do the really tricky software for that.

We have a product that reads product labels - checks its the right label, right weight, right expiry and sell by dates, etc. It uses the same kinda techniques as auto number plate reading.

In a past life 20 years ago I used to install cctv cameras - but not for traffic use.
