This study introduces an automated system for selecting the optimal X-ray image enhancement algorithm for airport luggage security. The framework uses image features and expert-validated quality measures to improve threat detection.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • X-ray imaging is crucial for airport security, but image quality can vary.
  • Automated enhancement of X-ray luggage images is needed to improve threat detection.
  • Current methods may not consistently select the best enhancement algorithm for diverse image conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a knowledge-based framework for automatically selecting the best image enhancement algorithm for X-ray luggage images.
  • To create a system that maps image features to appropriate enhancement techniques.
  • To establish objective viewability measures for assessing enhanced image quality.

Main Methods:

  • A knowledge-based system was designed to learn the relationship between image features and enhancement algorithms.
