• Abstract: Automated detection of contraband items in X-ray images can significantly increase public safety, by enhancing the productivity and alleviating the mental load of security officers in airports, subways, customs/post offices, etc. The large volume and high throughput of passengers, mailed parcels, etc., during rush hours practically make it a Big Data problem. Modern computer vision algorithms relying on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have proven capable of undertaking this task even under resource-constrained and embedded execution scenarios, e.g., as is the case with fast, single-stage object detectors. However, no comparative experimental assessment of the various relevant DNN components/methods has been performed under a common evaluation protocol, which means that reliable cross-method comparisons are missing. This paper presents exactly such a comparative assessment, utilizing a public relevant dataset and a well-defined methodology for selecting the specific DNN components/modules that are being evaluated. The results indicate the superiority of Transformer detectors, the obsolete nature of auxiliary neural modules that have been developed in the past few years for security applications and the efficiency of the CSP-DarkNet backbone CNN.

  This paper proposes a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based model for anomaly detection. It uses normal (non-anomalous) images to learn about the normality based on which it detects if an input image contains an anomalous/threat object. Experiments are performed on three datasets, viz. CIFAR-10, MVTec AD (for industrial applications) and SIXray (for X-ray baggage security)

  This paper presents a large-scale dataset, named as PIDray, which covers various cases in real-world scenarios for prohibited item detection. With an intensive amount of effort, our dataset contains $12$ categories of prohibited items in $47,677$ X-ray images with high-quality annotated segmentation masks and bounding boxes. The proposed method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods, especially for detecting the deliberately hidden items.

  We present a semi-supervised approach for threat recognition which we call Background Adaptive Faster R-CNN. This approach is a training method for two-stage object detectors which uses Domain Adaptation methods from the field of deep learning. Two domain discriminators, one for discriminating object proposals and one for image features, are adversarially trained to prevent encoding domain-specific information. This can reduce threat detection false alarm rates by matching the statistics of extracted features from hand-collected backgrounds to real world data.
