METHOD FOR CHECKING THE LOCATION OF ELEMENTS IN A TIRE IN AN X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEM, X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH A METHOD AS WELL AS USE OF SUCH AN X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH METHOD

A method for checking the location of elements in a tire in an X-ray inspection system. The X-ray inspection system has an X-ray tube, a linear X-ray detector and a manipulator. The method includes: using a three-dimensional model of the tire, in which potential locations of the elements in the tire are described; recording two-dimensional X-ray line images of the tire elements consisting of pixels, which are described by a vector from the X-ray tube through the element to the X-ray detector; allocation of the pixels of an element from the two-dimensional X-ray line image to the three-dimensional model of the tire, in that the intersection point of a straight line through the X-ray tube with the vector of the pixel from the two-dimensional X-ray line image is assigned with the potential location of the element of the three-dimensional model as a point in the space for the pixel.
