Multi-threat detection system
First Claim
1. A system for screening an object for a threatening item, the system comprising:
- a test unit configured to subject the object to a combination of two or more different types of tests;
sensors configured to receive test outcome from the object and generate corresponding output signals;
a computation unit receiving the output signals and processing the output signals to generate parameter values, the computation unit combining the parameter values from the different types of tests to determine a set of risk factors indicating a likelihood that the threatening item is present in the object, wherein the parameter values include visualization data obtained from different measurement angles.

Abstract
A method and system for efficiently screening for threatening items are presented. The system includes a test unit configured to subject the object to a combination of two or more different types of tests, sensors configured to receive test outcome from the object and generate corresponding output signals, and a computation unit receiving and processing the output signals to generate parameter values. The computation unit combines the parameter values from the different types of tests to determine a set of risk factors that indicate a likelihood that the threatening item is present in the object, wherein the parameter values include visualization data obtained from different measurement angles.

21. A method of screening an object for a threatening item, the method comprising:
-
subjecting the object to a combination of different types of tests for identifying properties of the object; reading output signals from sensors positioned to receive test outcome from the object; processing the output signals individually to generate parameter values; and combining the parameter values from the different types of tests and using visualization data obtained from different measurement angles to determine a risk factor that indicates a likelihood that the threatening item is present in the object. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
