Abstract: Screening baggage against potential threats has become one of the prime aviation security concerns all over the world, where manual detection of prohibited items is a time-consuming and hectic process. Many researchers have developed autonomous systems to recognize baggage threats using security X-ray scans. However, all of these frameworks are vulnerable against screening cluttered and concealed contraband items. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no framework possesses the capacity to recognize baggage threats across multiple scanner specifications without an explicit retraining process. To overcome this, we present a novel meta-transfer learning-driven tensor-shot detector that decomposes the candidate scan into dual-energy tensors and employs a meta-one-shot classification backbone to recognize and localize the cluttered baggage threats. In addition, the proposed detection framework can be well-generalized to multiple scanner specifications due to its capacity to generate object proposals from the unified tensor maps rather than ersified raw scans. We have rigorously evaluated the proposed tensor-shot detector on the publicly available SIXray and GDXray datasets (containing a cumulative of 1,067,381 grayscale and colored baggage X-ray scans). On the SIXray dataset, the proposed framework achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.6457, and on the GDXray dataset, it achieved the precision and F1 score of 0.9441 and 0.9598, respectively. Furthermore, it outperforms state-of-the-art frameworks by 8.03% in terms of mAP, 1.49% in terms of precision, and 0.573% in terms of F1 on the SIXray and GDXray dataset, respectively.

Abstract: Human beings tend to incrementally learn from the rapidly changing environment without comprising or forgetting the already learned representations. Although deep learning also has the potential to mimic such human behaviors to some extent, it suffers from catastrophic forgetting due to which its performance on already learned tasks drastically decreases while learning about newer knowledge. Many researchers have proposed promising solutions to eliminate such catastrophic forgetting during the knowledge distillation process. However, to our best knowledge, there is no literature available to date that exploits the complex relationships between these solutions and utilizes them for the effective learning that spans over multiple datasets and even multiple domains. In this paper, we propose a continual learning objective that encompasses mutual distillation loss to understand such complex relationships and allows deep learning models to effectively retain the prior knowledge while adapting to the new classes, new datasets, and even new applications. The proposed objective was rigorously tested on nine publicly available, multi-vendor, and multimodal datasets that span over three applications, and it achieved the top-1 accuracy of 0.9863% and an F1-score of 0.9930.
