Abstract

The invention relates to a device (26; 26.1; 26.2) for generating test X-ray images for training and/or testing operators at the location of use of at least one X-ray inspection facility (10.1, 10.2, 10.n) for nondestructively inspecting an inspection object (14), in particular a piece of luggage or a package. The generation unit (26; 26.1; 26.2) includes: an inspection object database (34) for storing X-ray image data of inspection objects (14) generated using the at least one X-ray inspection facility (10.1, 10.2, 10.n); a target item database (36) containing image data of target items; and an image projection unit (38) for projecting a virtual image of a target item from the target item database (36) into an X-ray image from the inspection object database (34) in order to generate a test X-ray image. The image projection unit (38) is configured for generating test X-ray images based on an X-ray image of an inspection object (14), the X-ray image having been recorded prior to a first time period, and the associated inspection object having already been classified as safe and/or having been classified as safe during an automatic inspection. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for generating test X-ray images, and a central control unit (18) for at least one X-ray inspection facility (10.1, 10.2, 10.n) together with the generation device (26; 26.1; 26.2) and a baggage or package inspection system (1).
