X-ray imaging based on variable energy can expand the dynamic range of the imaging system and perfectly show the structure information of the detection objects, by acquiring and fusing the image sequences. However, the fusion method is ordinarily based on image quality optimization, and neglects the gray mapping accuracy of the actual high dynamic imaging. It cannot guarantee the physical matching between the image information and actual structure information. Therefore, in this paper we propose an X-ray image gray characterization algorithm of high dynamic fusion based on variable energy. First, take a standard wedge block as test object, and use the fusion image of low dynamic image sequences as input data. The output data are the actual high dynamic image. Then establish the X-ray imaging gray characterization model by neural network training. At the same time, because the attenuation coefficients of different heterogeneous materials are different, a modified model of physical characterization is established to achieve a correct characterization of real object. Finally, experiments by 12 bit and 16 bit imaging systems acquire the variable voltage image sequences using 12 bit detector. After image fusion, image mapping and gray level correction, the output image not only achieves the same effect of 16 bit detector, but also satisfies the gray relation. Also this method can effectively expand the dynamic range of the imaging system.
