Abstract
A luggage detection device is configured to detect luggage by generating computed tomography (CT) imaging slices. For each of the CT imaging slices, the luggage detection device is configured to identify at least one region within the CT imaging slice for removal based on at least one predefined rule, to remove pixel data associated with the at least one identified region within the CT imaging slice, to generate a pixel count representing a number of pixels in the modified CT imaging slice that include a value above a threshold pixel value, and to generate an object indicator based on a determination that the generated pixel count is above a threshold pixel count. The luggage detection device is further configured to display at least one of the plurality of CT image slices based on the presence of the corresponding baggage indicator.
