Walk-Through Metal Detector (WTMD) Alternative Automated Target Recognition (ATR) Developments
Description
Improve detection over traditional WTMD to include non-metallic threats.
Detailed example
The AI outputs target coordinates to the operator viewing station which is viewed as a bounding box on a representative human figure.
AI / analytics pattern
Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
Artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced Millimeter wave (mmWave) detectors are used as an alternative to Walk-Through Metal Detectors (WTMDs) for passenger screening to detect both metallic and non-metallic threats and prohibited items on passengers at the security checkpoint. These detectors will provide both increased security and a better passenger experience.
