Abstract

Methods for extracting a shape feature of an object and security inspection methods and apparatuses. Use is made of CT's capability of obtaining a 3D structure. The shape of an object in an inspected luggage is used as a feature of a suspicious object in combination with a material property of the object. For example, a false alarm rate in detection of suspicious explosives may be reduced.
