Systems and methods for improving directed people screening
First Claim
1. An imaging system for inspecting a human body, wherein said imaging system comprises a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in non-volatile memory and wherein, upon execution of said plurality of programmatic instructions by at least one processor, said system:
- generates at least one first image of said human body;
receives data indicative of a plurality of physical dimensions of the human body, wherein said data is generated by measuring at least three points on different locations on the human body;
identifies a location of at least one region of interest that requires further inspection;
modifies said location of the at least one region of interest with respect to said at least one first image using said data; and
generates at least one second image wherein said at least one second image is a visual representation of the at least one region of interest having said modified location and said at least one first image.

Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for screening subjects at security locations while preserving the privacy of subjects and retaining the efficiency and thus, throughput, of the screening process. More specifically, the present invention is an improved X-ray detection system and method that allows for maximum threat detection performance with improved verbal and visual communication between the screening and imaging system operator and an image analyst, either proximally or remotely located, thus allowing for an accurate, directed physical search and minimal “pat-down” of subjects under inspection.

13. An X-ray backscatter imaging system for inspecting a human body comprising:
-
a radiation source adapted to produce a pencil beam of X-rays toward an imaging area; a detector array for detecting X-rays that are backscattered from the pencil beam as a result of interacting with the human body positioned in said image area; and an image processing system, wherein said image processing system is adapted to generate at least one first image of said human body; receive data indicative of a plurality of physical dimensions of the human body, wherein said data is generated by measuring at least three points on different locations on the human body; identify a location of at least one region of interest that requires further inspection; modify said location of the at least one region of interest with respect to said at least one first image using said data; and generate at least one second image wherein said at least one second image is a visual representation of the at least one region of interest having said modified location and said at least one first image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
