Abstract
A method, software and apparatus are disclosed to improve security by helping determine whether a bag contains a prohibited item. A CT scan of a bag is performed to generate an image. An artificial intelligence algorithm is performed to classify portions of an image as normal and portions of said image as abnormal. A first type of image processing for said normal portion(s) of said image. A second type of image processing for said abnormal portion(s) of said image wherein said second type of image processing is different from said first type of image processing. The normal portion(s) of the image are displayed with said first type of image processing and said abnormal portion(s) of the image are displayed with said second type of image processing to a TSA Agent for analysis of said image. In the preferred embodiment, the TSA Agent will perform the analysis on an extended reality head display unit.
