      Analysis Recipes

      Analysis Recipes are Lumafield's solution to automated scan processing.

      Lumafield is pioneering automated inspection solutions that can address all kinds of inspection needs. We know that X-ray CT data is full of rich insights that can take hours to fully understand. In addition, we understand that each part has different hotspots and areas of interest. 

      Analysis recipes are a completely customizable solution to automate operations and analyses that can be performed in Voyager.

      Example Analysis Recipes

      • Make a prescribed ROI of a specific region.
      • Place an inspection plane in a specific place.
      • Run porosity on a volume at a specific threshold.
      • Extract a mesh from a volume at a specific threshold.
      • CAD Comparison to the same source mesh.
      • Classify something as pass / no pass based on an analysis statistic threshold.

      The number of capabilities that can be automated is endless. Reach out to Lumafield support to discuss your automation needs. For the time being only Lumafield can create recipes. Work with your solutions engineer to unpack your requirements and see if your task can be automated!

      Custom Analysis Recipe Workflow

      For the time being, custom analysis recipes are associated with a single workspace.

      Typical considerations when establishing an analysis recipe workflow include:

      1. Which workspaces would need access to the analysis recipe?
      2. What is the volume of scans you wish to analyze in this manner?
      3. Is this a default analysis recipe that should be run on every scan?

      Contact Lumafield support or work with your Solutions Engineer to start developing your custom analysis recipe workflow.

      Global Analysis Recipes

      Some recipes do not need to be customized to be useful. These global analysis recipes are available to all Lumafield customers in all workspaces. New global recipes will be released on a regular basis. 

      Available global analysis recipes

      This list will continue to be updated as new global analysis recipes are created. 

      Auto ROI

      This analysis recipe detects individual parts in a scan and separates them into automatically oriented and cropped ROIs. These ROIs attempt to maintain a relative, regular coordinate system across each ROI and maintain orientation if the original scan contained multiple similarly oriented parts. 

      How to run a recipe

      Running a global analysis recipe or a custom analysis recipe is possible at the time of scan, or after the scan from within a Voyager project. 

      Running a recipe from a Neptune Scanner

      In the auto scan and the manual scan tabs, there are two fields that relate to running recipes:

      1. Workspace Selection
        1. Every scan must have a destination. Each recipe is located within a specific workspace. Choose the workspace with the recipe that you wish to run on the scan you are setting up.
      2. Recipe Selection
        1. Choose the recipe that you wish to run on this scan. The recipe will run automatically after the scan is processed. 
      3. Recipe Progress
        1. Recipe progress will be shown on the Voyager Dashboard.

      Running a recipe from a Voyager Project

      1. Recipe Selection
        1. Choose the "Recipe" button in the toolbar.
        2. Select a recipe from the dropdown and click submit to run.
      2. Recipe Progress
        1. Recipe progress is indicated on the item in the data panel on the left of Voyager.
        2. When the recipe is complete, a notification will show.
        3. If the recipe contains downloadable results, you can download them from within the recipe object attributes.
