• Abstract summary: We first present a High-quality X-ray (HiXray) security inspection image dataset, which contains 102,928 common prohibited items of 8 categories. For accurate prohibited item detection, we propose the Lateral Inhibition Module (LIM) inspired by the fact that humans recognize these items by ignoring irrelevant information.

• Abstract: Prohibited items detection in X-ray images often plays an important role in protecting public safety, which often deals with color-monotonous and luster-insufficient objects, resulting in unsatisfactory performance. Till now, there have been rare studies touching this topic due to the lack of specialized high-quality datasets. In this work, we first present a High-quality X-ray (HiXray) security inspection image dataset, which contains 102,928 common prohibited items of 8 categories. It is the largest dataset of high quality for prohibited items detection, gathered from the real-world airport security inspection and annotated by professional security inspectors. Besides, for accurate prohibited item detection, we further propose the Lateral Inhibition Module (LIM) inspired by the fact that humans recognize these items by ignoring irrelevant information and focusing on identifiable characteristics, especially when objects are overlapped with each other. Specifically, LIM, the elaborately designed flexible additional module, suppresses the noisy information flowing maximumly by the Bidirectional Propagation (BP) module and activates the most identifiable charismatic, boundary, from four directions by Boundary Activation (BA) module. We evaluate our method extensively on HiXray and OPIXray and the results demonstrate that it outperforms SOTA detection methods.

  This paper introduces a novel data augmentation approach tailored for prohibited item detection, leveraging unique characteristics inherent to X-ray imagery. Our method is motivated by observations of physical properties including: 1) X-ray Transmission Imagery: Unlike reflected light images, transmitted X-ray pixels represent composite information from multiple materials along the imaging path. We propose a simple yet effective X-ray image augmentation technique, Background Mixup (BGM), for prohibited item detection in security screening contexts.

• Dual-Level Boost Network for Long-Tail Prohibited Items Detection in X-ray Security Inspection [81.11400642272976]
  Long-tail distribution of prohibited items in X-ray security inspections poses a big challenge for detection models. We propose a Dual-level Boost Network (DBNet) specifically designed to overcome these challenges in X-ray security screening. Our approach introduces two key innovations: (1) a specific data augmentation strategy employing Poisson blending, inspired by the characteristics of X-ray images, to generate realistic synthetic instances of rare items which can effectively mitigate data imbalance; and (2) a context-aware feature enhancement module that captures the spatial and semantic interactions between objects and their surroundings, enhancing classification accuracy for underrepresented categories.

  Adversarial attacks targeting texture-free X-ray images are underexplored. In this paper, we take the first step toward the study of adversarial attacks targeted at X-ray prohibited item detection. We propose X-Adv to generate physically printable metals that act as an adversarial agent capable of deceiving X-ray detectors.

  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.
