News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present disclosure relates generally to computer vision, and more particularly, to security screening and long range video surveillance using computer vision. “Security screening systems inspect checked and hand baggage, cargo, containers, passengers, etc. for content, such as, explosives, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), firearms, contraband, drugs, etc. They play a key role in the Homeland Defense/Security strategy for increased safety in airports, air and sea traffic.
