Universal inspection method

Abstract

A method for inspecting an individual using a dual-technology detection system having: a first mode of operation comprising the implementation of a first detection technology; a second mode of operation comprising the implementation of a second detection technology distinct from the first detection technology; and a third mode of operation comprising the absence of detection by means of the first and second technologies; the inspection method comprising: - the inspection (S2) of the individual according to the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation when the individual belongs to a first category; and - the inspection (S3) of the individual according to the first or second mode of operation when the individual belongs to a second category; and - the inspection (S4) of the individual according to the third mode of operation when the individual belongs to a third category.Figure for the summary: Fig. 4.

Claims

- send instructions to the first and second detection means (3, 4) so ​​as to execute the first and second operating modes; - send instructions to the first or second detection means (3, 4) so ​​as to execute the first or second operating mode; - execute the third operating mode by disabling the first and second detection means (3, 4), and - when the first and / or second detection means (3, 4) detect a target object, send instructions to generate an alert.

12. A detection system according to claim 11, wherein the first detection means comprise an inductive metal detector (3) comprising an emitter assembly (10) configured to emit a magnetic field, a receiver assembly (11) configured to generate electrical signals representative of disturbances of the magnetic field by a metallic object, and a central unit (12) configured to infer the presence of a metallic object.

13. A detection system according to any one of claims 11 and 12, wherein the second detection means comprise a body scanner (4) comprising at least one transmitting antenna (13) configured to emit radiant energy, at least one receiving antenna configured to receive reflected energy and a central unit (14) configured to deduce an electronic image of the individual.

14. A detection system (1) according to any one of claims 11 to 13, further comprising a selector (21a, 21b, 21c) configured to select at least one of the first, second and third operating modes.

15. A detection system (1) according to claims 12 and 13 taken in combination, wherein the processing unit (15) is further configured to generate an avatar (23) and represent on this avatar (23) the result of the execution of the first and / or second mode of operation. [Fig. 1] [Fig. 2]
