Abstract

An important aspect of insider protection in production facilities is the monitoring of the movement of special nuclear material (SNM) and personnel. One system developed at Sandia National Labs for this purpose is the Personnel and Material Tracking System (PAMTRAK). PAMTRAK can intelligently integrate different sensor technologies and the security requirements of a facility to provide a unique capability in monitoring and tracking SNM and personnel. Currently many sensor technologies are used to track the location of personnel and SNM inside a production facility. These technologies are generally intrusive; they require special badges be worn by personnel, special tags be connected to material, and special detection devices be mounted in the area. Video technology, however, is non-intrusive because it does not require that personnel wear special badges or that special tags be attached to SNM. Sandia has developed a video-based image processing system consisting of three major components: the Material Monitoring Subsystem (MMS), the Personnel Tracking Subsystem (PTS) and the Item Recognition Subsystem (IRS).<>

一种用于监视特殊核材料和核人员的图像处理系统

生产设施内部保护的一个重要方面是监测特殊核材料和人员的流动。桑迪亚国家实验室为此目的开发的一个系统是人员和材料跟踪系统(PAMTRAK)。PAMTRAK可以智能地集成不同的传感器技术和设施的安全要求，提供独特的监控和跟踪SNM和人员的能力。目前，许多传感器技术用于跟踪生产设施内人员和SNM的位置。这些技术通常是侵入性的;他们要求人员佩戴特殊的徽章，特殊的标签连接到材料上，并在该区域安装特殊的检测设备。然而，视频技术是非侵入性的，因为它不需要人员佩戴特殊的徽章或在SNM上附加特殊的标签。桑迪亚公司开发了一种基于视频的图像处理系统，该系统由三个主要部分组成:材料监控子系统(MMS)、人员跟踪子系统(PTS)和物品识别子系统(IRS)。
