Abstract

We present an overview of signal and image processing techniques developed for the concealed weapon detection (CWD) application. The signal/image processing chain is described and the tasks include image denoising and enhancement, image registration and fusion, object segmentation, shape description, and weapon recognition. Finally, a complete CWD example is presented for illustration.
