A First
Exploratory Study on the Relevance of Everyday Object Knowledge and Training for Increasing
Efficiency in Airport Security X-ray Screening. Proceedings of the 49th IEEE International
Carnahan Conference on Security Technology, Taipei Taiwan, September 21-24, 25-30.
I.
INTRODUCTION
EXPERIMENT 1
Fig.1. Screenshot showing an X-ray image of a passenger bag from the X-ray
OCNT with framed harmless everyday objects.
(1)
Fig.2. Correlation between % correctly named harmless everyday objects (Xray OCNT) and false alarm rate (XBST). The explained variance is provided
as R2.
The results for naming prohibited items in the X-ray OCNT are not
reported because this information could be regarded as security
sensitive and because these results are not relevant for testing the
relationship between knowledge of harmless everyday objects and
false alarm rates from the XBST.
3
Due to recording failure of the software a few trial responses were
missing. More specifically, for six of the 15 X-ray screeners, one
response was missing. This resulted in a total of 0.25% missing
responses which for the calculation of the false alarm rate and the
criterion resulted in negligible deviations compared to when all
responses would have been recorded.
4
Since the hypothesis stated in the introduction would predict that
with increasing everyday object knowledge, false alarm rates would
decrease, one-tailed significance levels are reported.
n = 15
