In this paper we present a method for obtention of neutron
images with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) CMOS image sensors
through the activation of indium foils. This detection method has
been designed specifically for the acquisition of thermal and
epitermal neutron images in mixed beams with a high gamma flux, and
also for the study of high radioactive samples that are usually
placed into research reactor pools. We also present a technique to
obtain multi-spectral neutron images taking advantage of the high
neutron absorption cross-section of this material in the thermal
energy range, as well as around the 1.45 eV resonance. Measurements
performed in a neutron beam of the RA6 nuclear research reactor
located in Bariloche, Argentina, confirm the capability of the
proposed technique.
