ABIS: Key Features

  • Multiple rather than dual energy imaging (DEXA)
  • Fast photon counting instead of current mode photodiode array detection
  • Real-time, full-volume baggage scanning
  • Computer Tomography with no moving sources or detectors
  • Automated material recognition
  • High throughput (up to 1,200 bags per hour)
  • Neural-network learning enhanced detection accuracy for drugs, agricultural products, other contraband
