Astrophysics provides a diverse range of innovative features as standards in any XIS system, including:
Edge Enhancement: instantly enhances the outline and shape of each individual item in the screened image to facilitate better operator assessment of potential threats.
High Penetration: increases the penetration level to maximum for immediate clarification of dense objects.
Image Archiving: automatic archiving of the last 50,000 images scanned.
Image Review: permits operators to review the last 100 images scanned in the XIS System.
Computer Based Training (CBT): an operator training program with a pre-scanned image library containing various normal and threat images. After this feature is activated, the software will begin scrolling the CBT images, giving operators time to identify the threat by pushing the ‘Suspect’ button the control panel. If the Operator misses a threat, the system will stop and flash the image. This program is designed for operator practice and training and does not score the operator.
Multi-tiered Security Options: the XIS system interface features multi-tiered security with different levels of accessibility and unique programmable passwords for each individual operator and administrator.
