Embodiment Construction

[0016] return figure 1 A scanning system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of scanners 10, which may be, for example, stationary, moving gantry or mobile scanners, each scanner arranged to scan a cargo box to generate image data. In this case, the scanners 10 are arranged on the road surface 11 so that they can scan passing goods trucks on the road. Storage array 12, threat detection processor 14 and job dispatcher (dispatcher) 16 are all connected to scanner 10, and are connected to each other by data switch 18 or other suitable data transmission system, and wherein job dispatcher 16 generally comprises the computer. The data switch is also connected to the network of workstations 20 . Each workstation 20 includes a display 22 arranged to display the image data in the form of an image for operator viewing; and a user input 24, in the form of a mouse, which enables the operator to select between a plurality of threat categories One is...

Abstract

A cargo scanning system comprises a plurality of scanners each arranged to scan a respective object and generate a set of scan data, processing means arranged to process each set of scan data to determine whether it meets a predetermined threat condition, a plurality of workstations, and data management means arranged to direct data that meets the threat condition to one of the workstations for analysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to scanning systems. It is specifically applied in a scanning system for cargo. Background technique [0002] There is a need to be able to screen items of cargo for illegal materials and equipment, in order to protect the public. [0003] Currently, such examinations can be performed using X-ray-based screening devices. In these systems, an x-ray image of the object being inspected is taken, and operators view the image to determine empirically whether the shipment is clean for onward transport or whether the shipment requires a further level of inspection. However, increasing volumes of cargo traffic and increasing expectations and needs for security scanning have led to an increasing need to increase the throughput of scanning systems. Contents of the invention [0004] The present invention provides a cargo scanning system, comprising: a plurality of scanners, each arranged to scan a corresponding object and gener...
