Taking head position into account in the detection of unauthorized objects or materials in a restricted access area

Abstract

Method for inspecting (S) an individual using a detector (1) comprising the following steps: S1: generating a magnetic field when an individual is in the passageway and acquiring electrical signals representative of the magnetic field; S2: analyzing the electrical signals to detect the presence of a metallic object; S3: acquiring an electronic image of the individual when the individual is in the passageway, the electronic image including the individual's head; S4: when a metallic object is detected, determining the position of the individual's head in the electronic image; S5: deducing the position of the metallic object detected in step S2 relative to the individual's head; and S6: when the metallic object is positioned at the level of the individual's head, generating a specific alert; and S7: inspecting the individual's head.
