The aim of the project is the design and development of a new generation of security checkpoints, called “Integrated Checkpoint”, where different technological solutions for the detection of hazardous materials (e.g., explosives) both in luggage and on people coexist and cooperate. The main characteristic of the integrated checkpoint is the capability to exploit all these technological solutions to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the monitoring action.
Within this project, the research activity I coordinate focuses on the design, the development and the testing of advanced algorithms for the detection of explosives based on computational intelligence techniques and novel filtering solutions to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
