ABSTRACT:
A method of and system for detecting threat objects represented in 3D CT data uses knowledge of one or more predefined shapes of the threat objects. An object represented by CT data for a region is identified. A two-dimensional projection of the object along a principal axis of the object is generated. A contour of the object boundary in the projection image is computed. A shape histogram is computed from the extracted contour. A difference measure between the extracted shape histogram and a set of pre-computed threat shape histograms is computed. A declaration of a threat object is made if the difference measure is less than a pre-defined threshold.
