  • Abstract
    Data mining techniques were applied for the reduction of false positives in aviation explosives detection CT (computed tomography) imaging systems. An inductive post-detection classifier (PDC) was trained, implemented, and fielded. The PDC can only eliminate alarms generated from the existing detection system - it does not detect new alarms.
