Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to X-ray images of inspection objects, such as those provided by X-ray inspection facilities at security checkpoints at airports.
- the invention relates to the provision of test X-ray images containing a dangerous object to be located for training and / or performance verification purposes.
- US 6 899 540 B1 discloses a computer system for the training and testing of operators of X-ray inspection equipment for baggage control.
- An operator may be displayed by the system on a baggage screening monitor computer generated contraband or danger objects in an X-ray image of a real piece of luggage.
- the hazardous objects were previously recorded and embedded in the image of the real piece of baggage during operation.
- TIP threat image projection
- an X-ray image of a real piece of luggage can be displayed, in which a real danger object was previously introduced; a test image generated in this way is called combined threat image (CTI).
- CTI combined threat image
- z See Cutler, V. and Paddock, p. 2009, "Use of threat image projection (TIP) to enhance security performance", 43rd International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology, 5-8 October 2009, pp. 46-51, DOI:
- FTI test X-ray images can be disadvantageous in real-time use at security checkpoints. If a target item is projected into a real piece of luggage, that item of baggage must be checked either before or subsequently without a TIP to prevent a target item that may actually be in the item of luggage from being overlooked. This leads to delays in the operation.
- CTI test X-ray images are X-ray images that are not part of a piece of luggage to be checked in the current operation, so that no additional inspection of the associated inspection object is necessary.
- a large number of CTI test images must be maintained in the system, which must additionally be periodically replaced or updated so that the operators who do not consciously or unconsciously remember the test images. This causes ongoing administration effort and corresponding costs.
- US 5 243 693 A discloses a simulation system for simulating an X-ray inspection system.
- the system consists essentially of a computer and a database of component images containing non-dangerous background images and dangerous foreground images.
- the system may combine various of the foreground and background images into a combination image to simulate the concealment of dangerous items and the like in a passenger baggage.
- Such a simulated combination image can be displayed on a display of a trainee operator who then attempts to identify with a selection means a foreground image contained in the associated component image that may be a dangerous object.
- the system can implement standard X-ray scanner functions, such as displaying multiple images on the display simultaneously, stopping and starting a conveyor on which passenger luggage is carried to allow for accurate inspection of a particular piece of luggage, and so on. Disclosure of the invention
- the object of the invention is to propose a generation device or a generation method for test X-ray images for training and / or checking of operators, wherein the disadvantages discussed in connection with the known systems based on FTIs and CTIs can be avoided or at least reduced.
- a key idea of the invention is to generate test radiographs in the manner of an FTI based on field-controlled inspection objects, wherein the test x-ray images of an operator are displayed on the type of use of CTIs. Since no X-ray images are manipulated in the current operation to inspection inspection objects, no additional control effort and the associated delays are avoided. Since the test X-ray images are based on X-ray images of inspection objects actually controlled at the respective control location (site of the X-ray inspection system), the test X-ray images displayed to an operator do not differ from those of the inspection objects currently being inspected in operation. It is almost automatically for each control point, z. As an airport, typical luggage shown. Known CTI images can be unrealistic and thus immediately recognizable as such by an operator.
- the central z. B. produced by the manufacturer of the inspection system happen that the inspection objects of the test X-ray images do not correlate with the typical inspection objects in the field. This may be due to seasonal differences (summer baggage / winter baggage) or destinations (baggage for international / domestic destinations / air baggage) or local means of transport (baggage in transport containers / loose baggage) etc. used locally.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a generating device for test X-ray images for the training and / or verification of operators at the site of at least one X-ray inspection system for non-destructive inspection of an inspection object, in particular a piece of luggage or a package.
- x-ray inspection systems by means of which an operator can find objects or substances to be identified in an inspection object.
- It may particularly preferably be an X-ray inspection system, such as those used at security checkpoints in the baggage handling system, for example at airports, in order to automatically inspect non-destructive items of baggage and freight that are to be carried on board an aircraft, i. without opening it.
- X-ray inspection equipment may also be used at other control points, e.g. at accesses to security-related areas or buildings, at border control posts, etc., for the inspection of objects, such as hand luggage carried by persons or items of mail such as letters, parcels and parcels.
- the aim of such inspections is the discovery of certain target objects.
- Target objects may initially be objects or substances with hazard potential, such as weapons, explosives, chemicals, etc., d. H. be dangerous objects. But also other objects or substances / substances, from which initially no immediate threat emanates, can be target objects. Target objects can z. As well as media such. As DVDs or CD-ROMs, smuggled goods, money, drugs, etc. Even foods can be target items.
- a target object is basically understood to mean an object to be identified or substance to be identified which an operator of the system is to find. Corresponding are contained in the target object database image data of corresponding objects.
- the generating unit preferably comprises: (i) an inspection object database for storing X-ray image data of inspection objects generated by the at least one X-ray inspection installation; (ii) a target object database with image data of target objects; and (iii) an image projection unit for projecting a virtual image of a target object from the target subject database into an X-ray image from the inspection object database to generate a test X-ray image.
- the image projection unit is set up to generate test X-ray images based on an X-ray image of an inspection object that was taken before a first time period and the associated inspection object was already considered safe, and / or was classified as safe in an automatic control.
- the first time period may be set according to a time taken for the inspection object underlying the X-ray image for the test X-ray image to reach its destination, for example a destination airport. Accordingly, the first time period may preferably be one day to several days, more preferably one week to two weeks.
- TIP processing see, for example, Schwaninger, A., Michel, S., & Bol- fing, A. (2007) in "A Statistical Approach to Image Estimation in x-ray Screening Ultrasound Measurements", Proceedings of the 4th Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization, ACM Press, New York, USA, 123-130.
- the generating device may further comprise an updating unit for the inspection object database.
- the updating unit may be adapted to update the inspection object database by deleting an X-ray image older than a second time duration and / or for a particular number, particularly once, to generate a test X-ray image from the inspection object database or for further use is locked.
- the generating device may further comprise a test x-ray image database, wherein the image projection unit may be configured to store generated test x-ray images in the test x-ray image database.
- the image projection unit may be configured to store generated test x-ray images in the test x-ray image database.
- the updating unit and / or the image projection unit - in the form of a common or two separate units - may further be adapted to update test x-ray images in the test x-ray image database by taking a test x-ray image that is older than a third period of time and / or for a certain number, in particular once, have been used for the training or verification of an operator, deleted or blocked for further use.
- control unit for at least one X-ray inspection system for inspection objects, in particular pieces of luggage or other packages, with one of the above-described embodiments of a generating device.

- the control unit is preferably connected to a display unit for displaying X-ray images of a current inspection object during operation for checking inspection objects (inspection mode) or a test X-ray image for training or checking an operator (training or performance checking mode).
- control unit may also be set up to display so-called false alarm images as test X-ray images.
- False alarm images are test X-ray images in which no target object is embedded. Since the inspection object database basically contains controlled or confirmed X-ray images, these X-ray images can be easily used as false alarm images.
- the central control unit may, for example, be a network display station which is connected to a plurality of networked x-ray inspection systems, which preferably each automatically inspect inspection objects. It may happen that an inspection object can not be classified as safe in the automatic inspection by the analysis routines implemented in the x-ray inspection system with the required safety. Then, before a manual inspection of the object to be inspected, a visual inspection of the one or more X-ray images of this object to be inspected is carried out by a trained operator. For this purpose, the respective X-ray image can be transmitted to the central control unit and displayed there to an operator on the display unit. X-ray images of current inspection objects in normal operation (inspection mode) can thus be displayed on the display unit.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a luggage or package control system with at least one X-ray inspection system and at least one central control unit explained above.
- the control unit is preferably arranged relative to the at least one x-ray inspection system so that an inspection object currently to be monitored with the at least one x-ray inspection system is not visible to an operator.
- the at least one x-ray inspection system is so separated or spatially separated from the workstation of an operator that the operator can not see an inspection object currently being monitored during operation.
- level 2 control stations are control devices which check passenger or third-party checked-in luggage or packages for transport by air.
- level 1 checkpoint for example, the so-called boarding luggage, which passengers take in a flight in the cabin, controlled.
- level-1 control devices it is customary for an operator of the x-ray inspection system to be able to see a piece of luggage that is currently to be checked before entering the x-ray inspection system. Therefore, at such level 1 control facilities, the test X-ray images generated by the system proposed herein are preferably used for training purposes only but not for random on-the-fly checks.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for generating test X-ray images for training and / or checking operators at the site of at least one X-ray inspection system for nondestructive inspection of an inspection object, in particular a luggage or package.
- the method preferably comprises: (a) providing x-ray images generated by the at least one x-ray inspection facility; and (b) providing image data of target objects; (c) generating a test X-ray image by projecting image data of a target object into one of the provided X-ray images, and (d) displaying A test X-ray image for training and / or examination of an operator, wherein it is ensured that the test X-ray image based on an X-ray image of an inspection object that was taken before a first period of time and the associated inspection object has already been classified as safe, and / or at an automatic check was considered safe.
- test X-ray image is displayed which is based on an X-ray image of an inspection object which is not older than a second time duration and / or has already been used for a specific number, in particular once, to generate a test X-ray image.
- new test X-ray images are continuously generated and stored on the basis of the provided X-ray images and the provided image data of target objects.
- stored test X-ray images which are older than a third time duration and / or have already been used for a specific number, in particular once, are deleted or blocked for further use.
- said second and third time periods may be the same length.
- the image projection unit or the image projection method is used in X-ray inspection systems of inspection objects for training and / or examination (training) and / or verification of the operating personnel of such systems.
