    Meta-TIP is a new unsupervised framework for Threat Image Projection (TIP), enhancing X-ray baggage screening. It generates realistic synthetic images by adaptively projecting prohibited items, improving training for security systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Threat Image Projection (TIP) is crucial for training security personnel and AI systems for X-ray baggage screening.
    • Existing TIP methods, principle-based and GAN-based, have limitations in flexibility, style consistency, training stability, and interpretability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a flexible, unsupervised, and end-to-end Threat Image Projection (TIP) framework.
    • To overcome the limitations of existing TIP methods by generating visually consistent and authentic synthetic X-ray images.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduced Meta-TIP, a novel unsupervised framework for style-adaptive Threat Image Projection.
    • Developed a foreground-background contrastive loss for pure prohibited item reconstruction.

  • Implemented a material-aware style-adaptive projection module for appearance control.
  • Designed a logarithmic loss based on TIP principles for unsupervised optimization.

    • Main Results:

    • Meta-TIP successfully reconstructs pure prohibited items from cluttered source images.
    • The framework adaptively projects items onto target X-ray images with style consistency.
    • Verified authenticity and training effectiveness of synthetic images across four public datasets (SIXray, OPIXray, PIXray, PIDray).

    Conclusions:

    • Meta-TIP offers a conceptually simple, flexible, and unsupervised approach to TIP.
    • The framework generates highly realistic synthetic X-ray images without limitations.
    • Meta-TIP significantly enhances the quality and applicability of synthetic data for security screening training.
