  4. Abstract:
  5. This paper presents a low-cost and AI-based automated solution for detecting hidden objects using thermal infrared imaging. We developed an affordable IR imaging setup and collected a comprehensive dataset of thermal images with different objects hidden under clothing. To overcome the challenges of low-resolution IR sensors, we implemented innovative signal processing techniques to enhance image quality, making it suitable for accurate object detection with AI. Meanwhile, a large dataset of over 1100 IR images with hidden objects was provided to train object detection algorithms, specifically YOLOv9 and RCNN. The average detection rate is close to 95%, which is higher than that of the similar work. Furthermore, we investigated the physics of thermal IR radiation, analyzing the temperature behavior of various concealed objects over time. © 2024 IEEE
