AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Existing luggage inspection systems face challenges in accurately determining the timing for capturing transmission images of luggage, especially when luggage shapes vary, leading to inconsistent detection and association of images with the actual luggage.
⚗Method used
A luggage inspection device that uses a visible light camera to repeatedly photograph a predetermined area, associating the captured images with transmission images by determining the arrival time of luggage at specific imaging areas, ensuring accurate timing and visibility of luggage contents.
🎯Benefits of technology
Enhances the accuracy of luggage identification by associating images captured at appropriate times, improving the visibility of luggage contents and reducing the likelihood of missed detections.

Abstract
To associate a transmission image photographed at an appropriate timing regardless of the state of a baggage with an image of a baggage.SOLUTION: An appearance image acquisition unit 402 repeatedly photographs and acquires with a camera an appearance image of a baggage passing through a visible-light photographing area. A transmission image acquisition unit 403 repeatedly photographs and acquires with an inspection device a transmission image of the baggage passing through a transmission photographing area. An arrival time specifying unit 404 specifies a time at which the baggage reaches the transmission photographing area as a first arrival time and specifies a time at which the baggage reaches the baggage visible-light photographing area as a second arrival time. An image associating unit 405 associates the appearance image of the baggage 2 photographed with the camera at the specified second arrival time with the transmission image of the baggage photographed with the inspection device at the specified first arrival time. An image display unit 406 displays both the appearance image and the transmission image associated with each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
