Abstract
In a transportation security technique, images are stored that are received from image capturing equipment deployed at respective screening nodes. The images are analyzed using a machine learning model, where presence of a particular object in an image indicates that a threat condition exists at the screening node. The analyzed images are transmitted to threat assessment components in accordance with predetermined criteria. An indication that the particular object is observed in the image is received from the threat assessment components. An indication that the particular object is observed in the image is transmitted to the screening node responsive to receiving the indication that the particular object is observed in the image. An indication of whether the particular object is present at the screening node is received. The machine learning model is trained based on the received indication of whether the particular object is observed in the image.
