Security inspectors have a tougher time avoiding misdetection due to a lack of support staff and a stressful workplace. Although machine learning models can detect contraband automatically, most of the models used in this process train the data in a centralized learning (CL) way, posing possible security and privacy concerns. To address this, we propose a Federated learning (FL)-based architecture to detect contraband in x-ray baggage security images while maintaining user privacy. Our model is trained and evaluated using the most recent state-of-the-art YOLOv7, SSD, and Faster R-CNN algorithms, paving the door for large-scale automatic detection of contraband in airports across the globe through collaboration. We achieve a global accuracy of 90.1%, 86.4%, and 66.7% with Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLOv7 algorithms respectively using the PIDray dataset. Our experiment reveals the challenges and potential of utilizing FL to detect contraband in airport luggage X-rays, even though the performance is comparable with the benchmark performance of non-FL algorithms.","PeriodicalId":224526,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies (ICMLANT)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125692560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This becomes even more critical for large square feet Retailers which are spread over thousands of sq ft. Many Retailers still rely on hardware-based Walkie Talkies. In addition to the walkie talkies being an expensive solution to deploy, it requires store associates to carry multiple devices to do their job, one device for scanning, item lookup and one device for walkie talkie. This paper proposes a software based digital walkie talkie app which uses the power of MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) for faster performance. This app can reside on company allocated device removing the need for an extra walkie talkie device carry. MQTT is a protocol for Internet of Things devices to communicate between themselves. This paper proposes using MQTT to cut down on client to server round trip costs and achieve faster and reliable communication. In the end paper shows results from a proof-of-concept built on MQTT protocol.","PeriodicalId":224526,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies (ICMLANT)","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130031123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
