Abstract: The ejection phenomenon generated by metal materials under strong impact is an important issue in the field of impact compression research. Pulsed X-ray photography is an important diagnostic testing method for micro jet processes. The use of X-ray images to obtain the surface density of metal material experimental objects and jets under strong impact is an important objective of this type of experiment. A method for measuring the areal density data of ejection X-ray images based on stepped wedges is proposed. The method reduces the influence of white spot noise by median filtering, corrects the unevenness of light field distribution and detector response by using empty field images and obtains the system point spread function by imaging the Roll-Bar object, and uses the imaging system point spread function and an improved Tikhonov regularization based image restoration method to reduce the impact of blur on X-ray images. The processing flow for obtaining the areal density information of ejection X-ray images is provided. The verification of the inversion of areal density in static object experimental images shows that the proposed method can accurately obtain the areal density information of metal ejection experimental X-ray images.
