ODSecurity will be showing their total contraband detection capability including the Sotor RS full body scanner, THEIA automatic threat recognition software, and Central Database, at the International Corrections and Prisons Association 2023 - ICPA 2023, in Antwerp, Belgium, from the 22-27 October 2023.
Sotor RS full-body scanner
The Sotor RS full-body scanner, combines ultra-low radiation with maximum visibility, making it extraordinarily safe and efficient.
The Sotor can literally find anything that is either concealed inside or concealed on a person.
- Detection in 10 seconds
It can detect anything within just 10 seconds, even non-metallic objects hidden under clothes, in natural cavities, or within the human body.
Previously these non-detectable items such as narcotics, explosives, precious stones, plastic weapons, or other contraband, could only be detected by using highly intrusive total body searches.
THEIA
It has been trained on large collections of “negative” body scan images, i.e., images that are free
THEIA uses complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software, to automatically highlight and identify anomalies in scan images. THEIA is driven by machine learning algorithms.
It has been trained on large collections of “negative” body scan images, i.e., images that are free of any contraband.
- Improves safety
These scans have taught THEIA what a negative scan should look like, and it has learned therefore to recognise anything that should not be part of a full body scan and highlight the anomaly to the operator.
The symbiotic relationship between the operators and THEIA reduces operator error and improves overall safety within our prisons and custodial estates.
Central Database
It allows staff in different locations to see the images taken in one establishment and compare them to another
After the Soter and THEIA have made a scan, the Central Database captures all the person's data, (be that an inmate, visitor, lawyer, or staff themselves), it will synchronise with previous data from previous scans, including those from other linked units, or establishments.
This information is then accessible from all facilities that have a Soter RS Body Scanner in operation, in different locations, allowing data records to be shared from facility to facility. It allows staff in different locations to see the images taken in one establishment and compare them to another taken in a different location in a different time period.
Demonstrating OD system capability
Joost Deutekom said, “The OD team is looking forward to demonstrating the total capability of the full OD system at ICPA."
Joost Deutekom adds, "We believe that our package ensures that the duty of care to any person in a custodial setting is secured by making sure that their environment is safe from any smuggled contraband. The Soter RS Full Body Scanner, THEIA, and Central Database fulfill that role by sharing knowledge.”
