摘要

In order to reduce the security risk of a commercial aircraft, passengers are not allowed to take certain items in their carry-on baggage. For this reason, human operators are trained to detect prohibited items using a manually controlled baggage screening process. In this paper, we propose the use of an automated method based on multiple Xray views to recognize certain regular objects with highly defined shapes and sizes. The method consists of two steps: 'monocular analysis', to obtain possible detections in each view of a sequence, and 'multiple view analysis', to recognize the objects of interest using matchings in all views. The search for matching candidates is efficiently performed using a lookup table that is computed off-line. In order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experimental results on recognizing regular objects -clips, springs and razor blades-in pen cases are shown achieving around 93% accuracy for 120 objects. We believe that it would be possible to design an automated aid in a target detection task using the proposed algorithm.
