Object Detection System Empowered with AI and Computer Vision with Learning Capabilities for New Objects

In 2024, we were contacted by a technical security integrator company (let’s call it Security Integrator). This company planned to participate in a tender for the supply, installation, and personnel training for X-ray equipment. The equipment was designed to detect specific objects (primarily weapons) for a governmental facility (let’s call it Authority).

The Security Integrator is not a developer or manufacturer of X-ray detection systems. Instead, they are an official representative of a USA-based company that produces such equipment (let’s call it Manufacturer). The Manufacturer provides standardized software to clients globally, with no customization or tailoring to specific client needs. In our case, for Authority. Thus, the Security Integrator faced a challenge: how to meet the Authority’s requirements. 

It should be noted that the Manufacturer’s software already included out-of-the-box functionality for detecting firearms in images and videos. But the Authority didn’t have an opportunity to add new objects into the system and train it to recognize those objects (for example, drones or explosives). 

After the Manufacturer declined to customize its software, the Security Integrator, as our partner, turned to us to develop a solution.
