Threat Image Projection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Threat Image Projection (TIP) a method of assessment and training for operators of X-ray baggage scanners. One way involves a false image retrieved from a digital library of a "threat item", such as a weapon, being inserted into the image of the object being screened. This is known as a False or Fictional Threat Image (FTI). Also, in some systems an image of a complete bag or other object containing a threat item is inserted into the object screening stream. This is known as a Combined Threat Image (CTI). TIP has been shown to greatly improve screener skills.[1]
