Article: Mind's eye view: airport security scanners could identify suspect items more efficiently using 3D X-ray technique.(News)

A UK UNIVERSITY is developing 3D X-ray scanning techniques based on the way the human brain processes visual images.

Royal Holloway, University of London, believes the technology, called HolViz, could greatly increase the efficiency of airport security scanners by allowing operators to view, zoom in on and manipulate 3D images of items in luggage or freight.

HolViz, developed by Royal Holloway neuro-science professor Johannes Zanker, aims to enable computers to generate the images by developing a processing system based on neuromorphic engineering techniques--design principles based on the construction of biological nervous systems
