Research abstract
RESEARCH IS PROPOSED FOR A DEVICE TO SUPERIMPOSE STORED WEAPON IMAGES ONTO THE X-RAY SCANS OF BAGGAGE IN AIRPORTS. CRITICAL IMAGE PARAMETERS AND PROCESSING ALGORITHMS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVING A REALISTIC OVERLAY WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND DEMONSTRATED. TO MAXIMIZE THE DEVICE UTILITY, IT WILL BE PLACED BETWEEN THE VIDEO OUTPUT OF THE X-RAY MACHINE AND THE VIDEO INPUT OF THE OPERATOR'S MONITOR.SPECIAL IMAGE PROCESSING HARDWARE WILL BE DEVISED TO PERFORMTHE IDENTIFIED OPERATIONS IN REAL-TIME.
