Security Screening

Fox Baggage Scanner

The screener's workstation for a checkpoint X-ray.

Fox Baggage Scanner runs the operator station of a dual-energy X-ray baggage scanner. It drives the belt, shows each bag in material colours, gives the screener the enhancements to look inside it, and draws the scanner's detections on the image under the policy set for each security level.

  • Material

    Dual-energy colours for organic, inorganic, metal and mixed.

  • Enhance

    24 stackable enhancements, with F1 to F3 combinations.

  • Overlay

    Items the scanner reports, drawn on the bag.

  • Belt

    Conveyor control, 11 monitored subsystems and relay outputs.

A detection policy for each security level: which reported items show, as Danger, Warning or Safe, from what threshold and in which colour.

01Data In, Data Out

How a Bag Moves Through Fox Baggage Scanner

Fox Baggage Scanner takes each bag's dual-energy scan and what the scanner reports, and puts out the screening view, the detection overlay, belt control and the sign-in record.

  • Your scanner

    Each bag's dual-energy scan as it streams in past the X-ray, with the items the scanner reports.

  • 1 Material colour

    Each bag coloured by material: organic, inorganic, metal and mixed.

  • 2 Enhancements

    Stack enhancements to look inside the bag, with saved combinations on F1 to F3.

  • 3 Detection overlay

    Items the scanner reports, drawn on the bag under the policy for the security level.

  • 4 Station record

    The scanner's 11 subsystems in view, and a record of who signed in.

  • At the station

    The screening view with its detection overlay, relay outputs and the sign-in audit.

02The Toolset

Everything a Screener Reaches For

The operator station of a dual-energy X-ray scanner: the image, what the scanner reports, and the station around it.

Screening View

Each bag in material colours, the way the scanner separates them.

  • Dual-energy colour
  • Organic
  • Inorganic / mixed
  • Metal
  • Previous / next bag
  • Camera view

Image Enhancements

Look inside the bag without rescanning it.

  • 24 enhancements
  • Stackable
  • F1–F3 combinations
  • Organic stripping
  • Metal stripping
  • Density alert Z7–Z9

Detection Overlay

What the scanner's own AI reports, drawn on the bag for the screener.

  • Scanner AI overlay
  • Follow mode
  • Show / hide
  • Overlay styling
  • Class labels
  • Confidence

Detection Policy

Per security level, decide what is shown and how loudly.

  • Security levels
  • Danger · Warning · Safe
  • Thresholds
  • Label colours
  • Per-class on / off

Belt and Station

Run the conveyor and keep an eye on the machine from the same screen.

  • Conveyor control
  • 11 monitored subsystems
  • Relay outputs
  • Maintenance counters

Administration

Who can do what at the station, and a record of it.

  • Accounts
  • Permission groups
  • 19 permission flags
  • Sign-in audit
  • Logs and events
03How a Bag Runs

Belt → Look → Decide

The order a screener works in.

Sign in

Each screener signs in with their own account and permissions.

Run the belt

Start the conveyor from the station; the bag streams in as it passes the X-ray.

Look inside

Switch enhancements, strip organic or metal, and check the density alert.

Check detections

Detections reported by the scanner appear on the image, styled by the policy.

Next bag

Step back and forth through the bags on the station.

04Platform

Built for the Operator Station

One Windows station drives the scanner and shows the screener everything the scanner reports.

24

Enhancements

Stackable, with saved combinations on the F1 to F3 keys.

Z7–Z9

Density alert

Dense material marked at the level the screener chooses.

19

Permission flags

Grouped into roles, with a sign-in audit.

11

Subsystems watched

The scanner's subsystems monitored, with relay outputs.

TCP

Scanner link

Source, detector and conveyor driven over the scanner's TCP protocol.

.NET 8

Windows station

WPF on Windows, 64-bit, with a scanner simulator for bench work.
