Application of probability-of-detection concepts to performancecharacterization of contraband detection systems, processes, and personnel atborder crossings,
Abstract: The use of nonintrusive inspection systems for contraband detection at border crossings has fostered a need for assessment of current performance in order to better direct future development of these technologies. The similarities between the nondestructive detection of flaws in engineered structures and the nonintrusive detection of contraband at border crossings provides the underlying rationale for the use of the probability of detection (POD) concepts already developed for aerospace and medical applications. This paper outlines the application of these POD concepts to the border crossing scenario, and includes a discuss and demonstration of applicable POD concepts and methods to a representative problem. !6
