Identifications of concealed weapon in a Human Body

The detection of weapons concealed underneath a person’s cloths is very much important to the improvement of the security of the public as well as the safety of public assets like airports, buildings, and railway stations etc. Manual screening procedure gives unsatisfactory results when the object is not in the range of security personnel and when there is an uncontrolled flow of people. The goal is to develop an automatic detection and recognition system of concealed weapons using sensor technologies and image processing. The focus of this paper is to develop a new algorithm using a colour visual image and a corresponding IR image for such a concealed weapon detection application by the help of fusion technology.
