Problems solved by technology

At the present time airline baggage screening is at an extremely slow process often resulting in passenger delays and frustration on the part of the traveling public.
Hence the entire screening process is quiet labor intensive.
Thus workers who are tired from working long shifts make mistakes.
In addition, poorly trained screeners are rushed into the screening process and make additional mistakes.
In addition to all of the above, workers who are screeners understand that their effective

DETAILED DISCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] As noted above, the present invention is a system and method for centralized inspection and evaluation of baggage. Referring to FIG. 1, an overview of the centralized baggage screening system is illustrated. Airport 16 comprises a series of baggage screening equipment 10, 12, 14. This equipment may be x-ray equipment, electronic beam equipment, chemical sniffing equipment, or any type of inspection equipment currently used or projected to be used for inspecting packages in the future. Images and data recorded from these screening devices 10, 12, 14, are sent to local server 18. Local server 18 provides identification information noting such things as time an image was taken, location, screening equipment, and other information that identifies the location from which the actual data is being received. Server 18 packages this information into a data packet 17 and conveys that data packet to a central screening location 20, as more fully set...

Abstract

A system and method for centralized security screening of packages including baggage. The system creates images and data concerning baggage to be reviewed, packetizes the data long with additional identification information, and conveys the data packets to a central screening location. All analysis of the baggage information is accomplished in a centralized way with risk assessments being provided to each image. Upon sensing of a package or baggage of concern, alerts may be sent to the screening location for action. Artificial intelligence tools are used to pre-screen images to assist with workload assignment.
