Threat Image Projection (TIP) is a technique used in X-ray security baggage screening systems that superimposes a threat object signature onto a benign X-ray baggage image in a plausible and realistic manner. It has been shown to be highly…

X-ray baggage security screening is in widespread use and crucial to maintaining transport security for threat/anomaly detection tasks. The automatic detection of anomaly, which is concealed within cluttered and complex…

One of the principal uses of physical-space sensors in public safety applications is the detection of unsafe conditions (e.g., release of poisonous gases, weapons in airports, tainted food). However, current detection methods in these…

Cosmic-ray muon sources exhibit distinct scattering angle distributions when interacting with materials of different atomic numbers (Z values), facilitating the identification of various Z-class materials, particularly those radioactive…

Gildings, patinas and alteration crusts are common features of many heritage artefacts, especially for metals. Their size depends on many factors, like the manufacturing method for gildings or the conservation state for alteration crusts:…

Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a novel imaging modality developed for patients receiving proton radiation therapy. The purpose of this work was to investigate hull-detection algorithms used for preconditioning of the large and sparse…

This paper describes a new way to reconstruct and identify muons with high efficiency and high pion rejection. Since muons at the ILC are often produced with or in jets, for many of the physics channels of interest[1], an efficient…

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Detection of breast cancer, while it is still small and confined to the breast, provides the best chance of effective treatment.…

As the popularity of on-orbit operations grows, so does the need for precise navigation around unknown resident space objects (RSOs) such as other spacecraft, orbital debris, and asteroids. The use of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping…

In the last two decades, luggage scanning has globally become one of the prime aviation security concerns. Manual screening of the baggage items is a cumbersome, subjective and inefficient process. Hence, many researchers have developed…

Muon tomography is a generic imaging method using the differential absorption of cosmic muons by matter. The measured contrast in the muons flux reflects the matter density contrast as it does in conventional medical imaging. The…

Traditional cosmic ray filtering algorithms used in X-ray imaging detectors aboard space telescopes perform event reconstruction based on the properties of activated pixels above a certain energy threshold, within 3x3 or 5x5 pixel sliding…

Medical Resonance Imaging or MRI is a medical image processing technique that used radio waves to scan the body. It is a tomographic imaging technique, principally used in the field of radiology. With the advantage of being a painless…

Prohibited items detection in X-ray images often plays an important role in protecting public safety, which often deals with color-monotonous and luster-insufficient objects, resulting in unsatisfactory performance. Till now, there have…

Computed tomography (CT) has been developed as a non-destructive technique for observing minute internal images of samples. It has been difficult to obtain photo-realistic (clean or clear) CT images due to various unwanted artifacts…

Recent advances in segmented solid-state detector arrays for rare-event searches have allowed the technology to approach the ton-scale in detector mass and the scale of meters in size. Often focused around searches for neutrinoless…

Imaging the inner part of large geological targets is an important issue in geosciences with various applications. Dif- ferent approaches already exist (e.g. gravimetry, electrical tomography) that give access to a wide range of…

X-ray security screening is in widespread use to maintain transportation security against a wide range of potential threat profiles. Of particular interest is the recent focus on the use of automated screening approaches, including the…

In this paper we broadly consider techniques which utilize projections on rays for data collection, with particular emphasis on optical techniques. We formulate a variety of imaging techniques as either special cases or extensions of…

With the advance in malware technology, attackers create new ways to hide their malicious code from antivirus services. One way to obfuscate an attack is to use common files as cover to hide the malicious scripts, so the malware will look…
