  • Systems and methods for the automatic detection of lithium batteries in cargo, baggage, parcels, and other containers
    Patent number: 10598812
    Abstract: The present specification discloses methods for scanning objects for the presence of lithium batteries. Normalized transmission X-ray data is used to generate organic, effective Z, and attenuation-based images. These images are then segmented using a combination of thresholding and region growing techniques to identify regions of interest. The regions are classified as lithium batteries or other objects, based on characteristics such as area of the region, its organic intensity, Zeff number, shape, spatial arrangement and texture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2020
    Assignee: Rapiscan Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Edward D. Franco, Ling Tang, Jing Ye Shea, Minyang Huang, Jolyon Browne
