Title / Titel Human-machine interaction and display technology in airport security screening
PDF Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Original title / Originaltitel Mensch-Maschine Interaktion und Darstellungstechnologie bei Flughafensicherheitskontrollen
Summary / Zusammenfassung X-ray screening systems are widely used at airports to examine the contents of passenger bags. Current x-ray equipment provides many image enhancement features such as for example negative image, black and white, edge detection, organic only, organic stripping etc. In this project we examine the value of image enhancement functions to provide sector based guidance for enhancing display technology in x-ray screening. Recently, new systems have been developed which allow displaying bags in 3D or from multiple views. A second aim of this project is to determine the benefit of such 3D and multiple view systems as compared to standard single view screening equipment.
