Ultimately, it achieves full automation of baggage inspection using the generative AI's video analysis platform. This system is expected to improve the human resources required at airports, enhance safety, and increase passenger satisfaction. For example, the baggage inspection system acquires image data of baggage. For example, the baggage inspection system acquires image data of baggage, and the generative AI analyzes the image data to detect dangerous goods and prohibited items. The generative AI uses pattern recognition and anomaly detection algorithms to quickly and accurately identify dangerous goods and prohibited items. This reduces the human resources required and improves the efficiency of inspections. Furthermore, the baggage screening system will accumulate inspection results and fine-tune its accuracy by comparing the results of inspectors with those of the generating AI. Ultimately, it will achieve full automation of baggage screening using the generating AI's video analysis platform.

As a result, the baggage screening system can improve airport human resources, enhance safety, and increase passenger satisfaction.
[0029] The baggage inspection system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, a storage unit, and an adjustment unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data of baggage. The acquisition unit can, for example, capture image data of baggage with a camera and store it as digital data. The acquisition unit can also, for example, acquire image data of baggage with an X-ray device and store it as digital data. The acquisition unit can also, for example, acquire image data of baggage with an infrared device and store it as digital data. The analysis unit analyzes the image data acquired by the acquisition unit and detects dangerous goods or prohibited items. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the image data using a generation AI and detect dangerous goods. The analysis unit can also, for example, analyze the image data using a generation AI and detect prohibited items. The analysis unit can also, for example, analyze the image data using a generation AI and detect dangerous goods and prohibited items simultaneously. The storage unit stores the inspection results obtained by the analysis unit. The storage unit can, for example, store the inspection results in a database. The storage unit can also, for example, store the inspection results in cloud storage. The storage unit can, for example, save inspection results to local storage. The adjustment unit performs fine tuning based on the data from the storage unit. The adjustment unit can, for example, adjust the parameters of the generated AI using the data from the storage unit. The adjustment unit can also, for example, retrain the model of the generated AI using the data from the storage unit. The adjustment unit can also, for example, improve the algorithm of the generated AI using the data from the storage unit. As a result, the baggage inspection system according to the embodiment can fully automate baggage inspection, reduce human resources, and improve inspection efficiency.
[0030] The acquisition unit acquires image data of baggage. For example, the acquisition unit captures image data of baggage with a camera and saves it as digital data. Specifically, it uses a high-resolution camera to capture detailed images of the baggage's exterior and acquires image data in real time. This allows for accurate capture of the baggage's shape and external characteristics. The acquisition unit can also acquire image data of baggage using an X-ray device and save it as digital data. The X-ray device can transparently photograph the internal structure of the baggage and identify different materials such as metals and organic materials. This provides basic data for detecting dangerous goods and prohibited items hidden inside the baggage. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also acquire image data of baggage using an infrared device and save it as digital data. The infrared device can detect the surface temperature and thermal radiation characteristics of the baggage and identify abnormal temperature changes and heat sources. This provides additional information for detecting heat-generating objects and electronic devices hidden inside the baggage. The acquisition unit integrates the diverse image data obtained from these different devices to provide basic data for detailed baggage inspection. This allows the acquisition unit to collect multifaceted information such as the appearance, internal structure, and thermal characteristics of the baggage, supporting highly accurate inspections by the analysis unit.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes image data acquired by the acquisition unit to detect hazardous materials or prohibited items. The analysis uses a generative AI to analyze the image data and detect hazardous materials. Specifically, the generative AI is pre-trained using a large amount of baggage image data, enabling it to identify the characteristics of hazardous materials and prohibited items with high accuracy. For example, the generative AI can analyze X-ray images of baggage to identify the shapes of metallic weapons and explosives. It can also analyze infrared images to detect abnormal heat sources and heat-generating objects. Furthermore, the generative AI can analyze external images of baggage to identify labels and shapes of prohibited items. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results to make a comprehensive determination of the presence or absence of hazardous materials and prohibited items in the baggage. The analysis unit processes image data in real time, enabling it to provide inspection results quickly and accurately. Additionally, the analysis unit can utilize past inspection results and statistical data to improve detection accuracy and identify new hazardous materials. For example, the analysis unit can learn specific patterns and trends based on past inspection data to improve the detection algorithm for new hazardous materials. This allows the analysis unit to perform highly accurate inspections based on the latest information at all times, improving the reliability and security of baggage inspections.
[0032] The storage unit stores the inspection results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the storage unit saves the inspection results to a database. Specifically, the inspection results include baggage image data, analysis results, and information on detected hazardous materials and prohibited items. This data is systematically stored in the database and used for later analysis and reference. The storage unit can also save the inspection results to cloud storage. Cloud storage allows for efficient storage of large amounts of data and quick access as needed. Furthermore, the storage unit can also save the inspection results to local storage. Local storage enables data storage and access even in environments with unstable network connectivity, improving system reliability. The storage unit can combine these storage methods to ensure data redundancy and availability. Additionally, the storage unit can periodically back up the stored data and take measures to prevent data loss or corruption. This allows the storage unit to safely and efficiently store the inspection results obtained by the analysis unit and support overall system data management.
[0033] The adjustment unit performs fine tuning based on the data from the storage unit. For example, the adjustment unit adjusts the parameters of the generating AI using the data from the storage unit. Specifically, it optimizes the learning rate and weight parameters of the generating AI to improve detection accuracy. The adjustment unit can also retrain the generating AI model using the data from the storage unit. Retraining allows the generating AI to learn new data and patterns, improving its detection capabilities. Furthermore, the adjustment unit can also improve the algorithm of the generating AI using the data from the storage unit. By improving the algorithm, the generating AI can analyze image data more efficiently and accurately, improving its ability to detect dangerous goods and prohibited items. The adjustment unit performs these adjustments regularly to keep the performance of the generating AI in an optimal state at all times. In addition, the adjustment unit can adjust the generating AI in response to user feedback and new regulations. In this way, the adjustment unit can continuously improve the performance of the generating AI by utilizing the data from the storage unit, thereby enhancing the reliability and security of the baggage inspection system.
[0034] The analysis unit can detect hazardous materials or prohibited items using pattern recognition or anomaly detection algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze image data using a neural network to detect hazardous materials. The analysis unit can also analyze image data using a support vector machine to detect prohibited items. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze image data using statistical methods to simultaneously detect both hazardous materials and prohibited items. This improves the accuracy of hazardous materials and prohibited items detection by employing pattern recognition and anomaly detection algorithms.
[0035] The storage unit can store inspection results and compare the judgments of the inspector and the generating AI. For example, the storage unit can save inspection results to a database and compare the inspector's judgment with the generating AI's judgment. The storage unit can also save inspection results to cloud storage and compare the inspector's judgment with the generating AI's judgment. The storage unit can also save inspection results to local storage and compare the inspector's judgment with the generating AI's judgment. This improves the accuracy of the system by storing inspection results and comparing the judgments of the inspector and the generating AI. Some or all of the above processing in the storage unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the storage unit can improve the accuracy of the system by using an AI model that stores inspection results in a database and compares the inspector's judgment with the generating AI's judgment.

For example, the alert unit can use an AI model that issues alerts based on inspection results to enable a rapid response when hazardous materials or prohibited items are detected.
[0039] The acquisition unit can select an appropriate image acquisition method based on the shape and material of the luggage. For example, if the luggage is made of a hard material, the acquisition unit can use X-rays to acquire detailed information about the interior. If the luggage is made of a soft material, the acquisition unit can also use infrared light to acquire information about the interior shape. If the luggage is made of a transparent material, the acquisition unit can also use visible light to directly acquire information about the interior. By selecting the optimal image acquisition method based on the shape and material of the luggage, the accuracy of image acquisition is improved. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can improve the accuracy of image acquisition by using an AI model that selects the optimal image acquisition method based on the shape and material of the luggage.
[0040] The acquisition unit can track the position and movement of luggage in real time and acquire images from the appropriate angle. For example, if luggage is moving on a conveyor belt, the acquisition unit can make the camera follow the luggage and acquire images from the optimal angle. For example, if luggage is stationary, the acquisition unit can also use multiple cameras to acquire images from different angles. For example, if luggage is rotating, the acquisition unit can adjust the camera angle to match the rotation and acquire an overall image. This allows for the acquisition of images from the optimal angle by tracking the position and movement of luggage in real time. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can improve the accuracy of image acquisition by using an AI model that tracks the position and movement of luggage in real time and acquires images from the optimal angle.
[0041] The acquisition unit can prioritize the acquisition of highly relevant data when acquiring images of baggage, taking into account the baggage owner's information. For example, if the baggage owner is a VIP, the acquisition unit will prioritize acquiring images of that baggage. The acquisition unit can also prioritize the acquisition of images of baggage if the baggage owner is a frequent customer. The acquisition unit can also prioritize the acquisition of images of baggage if the baggage owner falls into a specific risk profile. This improves the efficiency of inspection by prioritizing the acquisition of highly relevant data while considering the baggage owner's information. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can improve the efficiency of inspection by using an AI model that prioritizes the acquisition of highly relevant data while considering the baggage owner's information.
[0042] The acquisition unit can apply different acquisition algorithms based on the contents of the baggage when acquiring images of the baggage. For example, if the contents of the baggage are liquid, the acquisition unit can acquire them in detail using X-rays. For example, if the contents of the baggage are electronic devices, the acquisition unit can also acquire the internal shape using infrared light. For example, if the contents of the baggage are metal, the acquisition unit can also acquire the interior in detail using magnetic resonance. This improves the accuracy of image acquisition by applying different acquisition algorithms based on the contents of the baggage. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can improve the accuracy of image acquisition by using an AI model that applies different acquisition algorithms based on the contents of the baggage.
[0043] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms based on the type of contents of the baggage during analysis. For example, if the contents of the baggage are liquid, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm for analyzing the components of the liquid. For example, if the contents of the baggage are electronic devices, the analysis unit can also apply an algorithm for analyzing the structure of the electronic devices. For example, if the contents of the baggage are metals, the analysis unit can also apply an algorithm for analyzing the components of the metals. By applying different analysis algorithms based on the type of contents of the baggage, the accuracy of the analysis is improved.

Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0186] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0187] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0188] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0189] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0190] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0191] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0192] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0193] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0194] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0195] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0196] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0197] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0198] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0199] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0200] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
