• Abstract: In the last two decades, baggage scanning has globally become one of the prime aviation security concerns. Manual screening of the baggage items is tedious, error-prone, and compromise privacy. Hence, many researchers have developed X-ray imagery-based autonomous systems to address these shortcomings. This paper presents a cascaded structure tensor framework that can automatically extract and recognize suspicious items in heavily occluded and cluttered baggage. The proposed framework is unique, as it intelligently extracts each object by iteratively picking contour-based transitional information from different orientations and uses only a single feed-forward convolutional neural network for the recognition. The proposed framework has been rigorously evaluated using a total of 1,067,381 X-ray scans from publicly available GDXray and SIXray datasets where it outperformed the state-of-the-art solutions by achieving the mean average precision score of 0.9343 on GDXray and 0.9595 on SIXray for recognizing the highly cluttered and overlapping suspicious items. Furthermore, the proposed framework computationally achieves 4.76\% superior run-time performance as compared to the existing solutions based on publicly available object detectors

  We establish a new benchmark dataset and an open-source method for large-scale SAR object detection. Our dataset, SARDet-100K, is a result of intense surveying, collecting, and standardizing 10 existing SAR detection datasets. To the best of our knowledge, SARDet-100K is the first COCO-level large-scale multi-class SAR object detection dataset ever created.

The proposed method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods, especially for detecting the deliberately hidden items.

  This paper presents a novel unsupervised anomaly instance segmentation framework that recognizes baggage threats, in X-ray scans, as anomalies without requiring any ground truth labels. Thanks to its stylization capacity, the framework is trained only once, and at the inference stage, it detects and extracts contraband items regardless of their scanner specifications. A thorough evaluation of the proposed system on four public baggage X-ray datasets, without any re-training, demonstrates that it achieves competitive performance.

  Security inspection is X-ray scanning for personal belongings in suitcases. Traditional CNN-based models trained through common image recognition datasets fail to achieve satisfactory performance in this scenario. We propose an over-sampling de-occlusion attention network (DOAM-O), which consists of a novel de-occlusion attention module and a new over-sampling training strategy.
