System and method of identifying concealed objects using anthropomorphic display

摘要

A system and method of identifying concealed objects using an anthropomorphic display is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the method includes displaying a software 3-D avatar on a visual display when an individual is detected within a scanning area, where the 3-D avatar is an anthropomorphic representation of the individual. The method also includes scanning the individual with a plurality of concealed object detection sensors viewing the scanning area and identifying at least one area on the individual in response to detecting a concealed object on the individual, where the at least one area in which the concealed object is detected on the individual is visually indicated at a corresponding location on the software 3-D avatar with a computer generated highlight. In addition, the software 3-D avatar is dimmed, modified with text, graphics, colors, textures, opacity, transparency, or any combination thereof, when no individuals are detected in the scanning area.

1. A method of identifying concealed objects using an anthropomorphic display, the method comprising:
displaying a software 3-D avatar on a visual display when an individual is detected within a scanning area, wherein the software 3-D avatar is an anthropomorphic semi-transparent representation generated independently from a video or image of the individual to protect a privacy of the individual; scanning the individual with at least one concealed object detection sensor viewing the scanning area; identifying at least one area on the individual in response to detecting a concealed object on the individual; and, displaying a computer generated visual highlight at a corresponding location on the anthropomorphic semi-transparent representation itself using a result of the at least one concealed object detection sensor, wherein the visual highlight having at least one of a particular visual attribute that is distinguishable from remaining areas of the anthropomorphic semi-transparent representation; wherein the computer generated visual highlight is viewable through the software 3-D avatar to a far side.
