Abstract
A method of and a system for automatic object display of volumetric CT data for fast on-screen threat resolution are disclosed, wherein the CT data includes a CT image in a single energy CT scanner, or a CT image and a Z image in a multi-energy CT scanner, and a label image defining each object as a plurality of voxels of the volumetric CT data. The method comprises generating volumetric CT image data corresponding to a scanned bag; performing automatic threat detection to generate a label image; processing the volumetric CT data and the label image to obtain visualization parameters for each object; automatically generating display images for each object using corresponding visualization parameters; and displaying the generated display images for on-screen threat resolution.
