Reducing bias in security screening with the Rohde & Schwarz security scanners

Eliminating human bias is critical in security screening, and Rohde & Schwarz Security Scanners are engineered to preserve privacy while removing human interpretation from the process. They use objective detection algorithms that identify objects regardless of gender, race, clothing, body type or other demographic factors, and automatic threat detection displays standard alerts as alarm zones on a human avatar. Gender-neutral detection applied to a generic avatar further removes subjective judgment related to perceived appearance. Backed by over a decade of development, diversity-trained datasets (over half a million voluntary datasets) and blind algorithm testing, these scanners significantly reduce bias compared with solutions that rely on human profiling.
