Abstract

For detecting prohibited items inside packages, visual image doesn’t work well as items overlapped or occluded. Thus, Penetrable X-ray image was employed to solve the occlusion problem by coloring items in different material, yet the overlapping problem still remains unresolved. Therefore, this paper proposes an X-ray image segmentation and metal prohibited items detection following a coarse-to-fine scheme. Firstly, the overlapping metal objects are clipped according to the value in the H channel and R channel. Secondly, individual metal items are extracted using regional growing. Thirdly, metal prohibited items are detected by matching its shape with those predefined in Database. Our experiment show that the proposed method can detect 94.74% metal prohibited items inside packages.
