[0202] Although the above-described screening system was described in connection with screening of receptacles, the concepts described above can also be applied to the screening of people.
[0203] For example, in an alternative embodiment, a system for screening people is provided. The system includes components similar to those described in connection with the system depicted in FIG. 1. In a specific example of implementation, the image generation device 102 is configured to scan a person and possibly to scan the person along various axes and / or views to generate multiple images associated to the person. The image or images associated with the person convey information related to the objects carried by the person. FIG. 13 depicts two images associated with a person suitable for use in connection with a specific implementation of the system. Each image is then processed in accordance with the method described in the present specification to detect the presence of prohibited object...

Abstract
An apparatus and method for implementing a user interface module for use in screening a receptacle to detect therein the presence of one or more prohibited objects is provided. An image signal associated with the receptacle conveying information related to the receptacle's contents and a detection signal conveying a presence of at least one prohibited object in the receptacle are received. A user interface module is adapted for displaying first information conveying an image associated with the receptacle on the basis of the image signal. The user interface module is also adapted for displaying, simultaneously with the first information, second information conveying the presence of the prohibited object in the receptacle. The second information is derived at least in part on the basis of the detection signal. As a variant, the user interface module is adapted for providing a control allowing a user to cause third information to be displayed. The third information conveys at least one characteristic associated to the prohibited object. Alternative implementations of the user interface module may be made for use in screening a person to detect thereon the presence of one or more prohibited objects.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part application of international PCT patent application serial number PCT / CA2005 / 000716 filed May 11, 2005 designating the United States.[0002] The contents of the above referenced applications are incorporated herein by reference. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to security systems and, more particularly, to a user interface for use in screening luggage, mail parcels or cargo containers to identify certain objects located therein or for screening persons to identify certain objects located thereon and to a method and system for implementing such a user interface. BACKGROUND [0004] Security in airports, train stations, ports, mail sorting facilities, office buildings and other public or private venues is becoming increasingly important in particular in light of recent violent events. [0005] Typically, security-screening systems at airports make use of devices ...
