  • Abstract
    This paper introduces a multiple view X-ray line-scan imaging technique for the screening of carry-on-luggage and hold cargo encountered in aviation security. The three-dimensional information inherent in the resultant perspective images can be visualised as a smooth object rotation on a video display monitor. It has also been demonstrated that this rotational effect can be incorporated into a dynamic binocular stereoscopic display. In order to produce the closely matched perspective images required by this technique an integrated multiple view dual-energy X-ray camera is under development
