X-Ray Screening

6 Colour Imaging Technology uses imaging analysis to assign colours based on the effective atomic number.

This technique provides better differentiation of items which may have similar composition; each screened object appears in one of the 6 colours based upon a specific range of atomic numbers.

It provides material discrimination allowing the operator to determine between threat and non-threat items, the operator is able to interpret the X-Ray image more quickly and isolate threats with better precision, this increases both throughput and detection accuracy.

This is used for centrally carrying out management routines, updates, amending settings and monitoring multiple X-Ray Scanners on a site.

Upon starting up a WG X-Ray scanner or workstation, signals are immediately sent from those machines to the AMS requesting and retrieving recent system changes or data updates. This data can include added or deleted users, altered administrator settings, and software updates such as Threat Image Protection (TIP) library additions and TIP settings. It sends data back to the machines or workstations and automatically updates their systems as necessary.

A valuable detection tool for operators and administrators, the software has a large library with a range of threat objects and operates by periodically inserting a threat object into a scanned image.

When a threat object is detected, operators push the “Suspect” button on the keyboard to signify they recognize the threat. If the operator fails to identify a threat, the system will pause and the threat object will flash on the screen to notify the operator of the missed threat.

TIP exposes operators to various threat objects and provides further practice in threat identification. TIP enables administrators to evaluate the threat detection capabilities of operators and ensure they are screening effectively.
