Definitions

  • the inventors have, in a previous invention, utilized computerized pointer technology, such as a touch screen, to select and define the spatial position of objects selected by an inspector from within a mixture of objects (U.S. Patent 6,124,560).
  • the present invention extends these capabilities to provide not only location of selected objects to a computer but additionally to provide instant electronic communications among security checkpoint personnel of the presence, appearance, and location of selected objects and provides that this information along with the images of the selected objects within their mixture of objects and associated data be electronically stored in a searchable computerized database.
  • the present invention further provides that computerized algorithms can utilize this information to learn the characteristics of selected objects over time so to allow the computer to automatically help in the selection of similar objects.
  • the inventive computer assisted bag screening system provides means for rapid identification of potentially objectionable inclusions within bags, packages, wrappings, or other containers.
  • the use of this technology can rapidly screen such objects with minimal change to existing facilities.
  • the screening system uses computer technology and a touch screen, or other pointing device, that may enable operators to select several objects per minute without stress.
  • the touch screen or pointing device provides an electronic registration within a computer of objects selected by an operator.
  • Bag screeners are often untrained, poorly paid and highly stressed. These screeners are typically expected to inspect up to 12 bags per minute. The repetitive tasks and lack of experienced scanners have caused lapses of attention. There needs to be systematic checks on performance, better training and reduced stress for the bag screeners before it will be feasible to check all of the checked bag as required in the recent law signed by the President.
  • the innovative imaging and touch screen security and communications system of the present invention can be applied at locations using x-rays or other imaging technology for inspection and screening of objects and people entering into a secure area.
  • the system can significantly improve efficiency and increase traffic flow through a security checkpoint, for instance at an airport or other security sensitive installation (such as a power plant, military base, federal building, etc.) by computerizing and streamlining communications between image inspection personnel, bag search personnel, and supervisory personnel.
  • the system will provide a searchable computerized database of all x- ray images, associated data, search alerts and search results for people and objects passing through the security checkpoint.
  • the information in the database will tag x-ray or other type images containing potential threat objects with the actual identities of the objects allowing computerized image processing correlations to be developed to provide computer aided identification of potential threat objects to assist the image inspector.
  • the database will be usable for investigating security lapses and for analyzing activities at a security checkpoint and throughout a local area network linking security checkpoints.
  • the use of the new computer assisted screening system permits the separation of the image inspection activity from the dirt, noise and confusion of existing security checkpoints. It makes the work of screening less repetitive and the higher productivity permits the payment of higher wages. There is no requirement that image inspectors be in the same location or even the same area of the country as the bags, packages, people, etc. that are being checked. The image inspectors can be assigned in response to the changing traffic loads at different security checkpoints.
  • the remote inspection also provides a means for supervisors to constantly monitor, train and inspect the performance of the bag screeners.
  • the operator touches the object on the touch screen.
  • the bag can then be sent to an area for further inspection, as by being diverted to an alternative conveyor or search area.
  • the results of the search can be entered into a computerized database through touching appropriate identifications on a menu presented on a touch screen to the searcher or by using another type computerized pointing device such as a mouse or light pen with a computer monitor.
  • the new screening system at airports, power plants, and other restricted locations enables inspectors doing the detailed investigations to have the benefit of seeing all of the touch screen identified suspicious objects highlighted on their monitor screens.
  • the system provides that all image scans, associated data, and screener touch screen responses are saved to a computerized database thereby providing a searchable computerized record of objects, people, etc. passing through security checkpoints and allowing later analysis of activities at security checkpoints.
  • the new system further enables objects that are identified by a first bag screener to be automatically referred to a supervisor for a second opinion.
  • the supervisor may either clear the bag for loading or the bag can be diverted to a special area for a detailed inspection.
  • the present invention can make use of artificial intelligence to highlight objects that are similar to those selected by the human operator. After the screener has selected certain objects several times, the computer is able to recognize certain shapes and to highlight them. It is the aim of the screening system to make the job of screening much more productive and to provide a preliminary scan of the large percentage of the baggage that does not need a more detailed inspection.
  • touch screen or other pointing device interface, computer, and artificial intelligence programs in the present invention make bag screening much faster and less stressful, it does not replace the human operator. Additionally it provides a means to monitor the performance of image inspectors and provides a quick way to get a second opinion if any suspicious object is seen.
  • supervisors may run on-line checks to ensure that the screening operators are providing reliable identification of targeted objects. If the supervisor, viewing the same images as a primary image screener, selects 100 objects and 85 are also found by the primary screener then the relative detection efficiency of the primary screener is 85% or 85/100.
  • An important feature is that the computer, having learned to identify threat objects in images through its artificial intelligence program, can similarly perform a check of image inspector efficiency and automatically report its results. It is a significant feature that measurement of such image inspection efficiency, by a supervisor or by the computer, can also be performed off-line using stored images with stored touch screen responses retrieved from the computerized database of checkpoint activities.
  • Another significant feature of the invention is that it can be used to monitor and record trainee inspector responses to images presented to them during training.
  • the efficiency of trainees for image inspection can be measured by the instructor or by the computer.
  • Real images from a database of images from a security checkpoint can be used to train the new inspectors.
  • the new inspectors' responses to these images can be compared to the stored responses of the security personnel manning the security checkpoint in addition to the responses of the trainee instructor.
  • computerized images of threat objects can be projected into an image, such as is done by the new "Threat Image Projection System" or TIPS system recently introduced by the FAA for x-ray image inspection personnel testing and training. Interfacing with TIPS, the inspectors' touch screen responses can be monitored for efficiency of detection, both in pre-job training and during on-the-job training and monitoring.
  • the system provides essentially instantaneous touch screen communications among security personnel with regard to inspection by x-ray or other type imaging generated at security inspection points.
  • advantages offered by the system are:

Sensor array 3 s is selected to be sensitive in the wavelength range of x-ray electromagnetic radiation transiting from article 6 within the inspection zone 3z when irradiated by source 5.

Sensor array 3 s data received by computer 7 are processed for analog to digital conversion if not already digital by nature of sensor array 3 s and micro-computer processed into digitized electronic images which are transmitted over cables 8 to touch sensitive screen 4 which is capable of electronically registering the coordinates on the screen of a manual touch by a human operator. Touch screen 4 displays the digitized images corresponding to the sensor data from sensor array 3s of the inspection zone 3z and the article 6 to be screened within the inspection zone 3z.
