Perspective™
Enhanced X-Ray Technology
Whether scanning mail and small parcels, or larger baggage, cargo and freight, our units are specifically designed to provide clearer and more revealing 3D Perspective™ images unique to VOTI products.
What Our Competitors Don’t See
Competitor Technology
The competitor scan indicates NO detectable threats…
- 2D scanners are unable to detect all concealed objects due to dangerous blind spots.
- Images produced are flat files and cannot be manipulated further in the future.
- True 3D scanners are expensive, large and slow to produce images.
VOTI’s 3D Perspective™
…But when we screen the SAME bag with a VOTI scanner, several threats undetected by the competitor system are revealed in the seams.
- We eliminate blind spots and allow operators to quickly identify threats.
- Our image files are saved in their raw format, so you can rescan them and analyze them as though the items were back in the machine.
- We provide the benefits of a dual view system at the price of single view.
With this technology, you can get the peace of mind of multisource scanning without the added cost. We can also accommodate dual or multi-view as needed for regulation.
Core Operating System
BioSans™
Our innovative design and detection capabilities are made possible through our state-of-the-art operating system, BioSans™ OS running on all VOTI scanners. As the main operator interface for all system communications, it is responsible for generating the 3D Perspective™ images by merging multiple shots into one, with a focus on clarity and quality to provide the highest standard of threat detection and simplify use for the operator.

BioSans™ OS is key to our ability to provide upstream improvements that are easily transferred to our clients, positively impacting the industries in which they operate. Our software is our greatest value-add and provides a host of scaling opportunities for future innovations.
Core Features
BioSans™ OS has been designed to include the following core features:
1. Automatic Detection
Automatic detection alerts the operator of the presence of potential threats or contraband, including prohibited organic material, explosives, high density, sharp objects (and more.) The list of materials can be completely customized to your needs with a combination of atomic number and density to highlight objects that are:
Organic: anything with a carbon base (clothing, food, water, paper, etc.)
Inorganic: anything metallic (cell phone, knife, firearm, etc.)
Mixed: a combination of Organic/Inorganic recognition.
2. Image Enhancement
Image Enhancement uses zoom, pan, flip, and contrast to adjust the scanned image.
3. Continuous Screening
Continuous Screening provides customizable modes.
4. Manual Search Required (MSR)
Manual Search Required (MSR) to tag items and save archived files to a specific folder. The scanned item is directed to an optional search area.
5. Language Selection
Language Selection allows for the multilingual operator interface to use the system in several languages including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and many more.
Designed to continue to disrupt the x-ray scanning market, BioSans MATRIX, running on Linux, further builds on our BioSans operating system, offering additional applications and differentiated solutions to extend the functionality and value of the customer’s current and future equipment. BioSans MATRIX provides many scaling opportunities for future innovations, especially in services, applications, artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics.
The Evolution of X-Ray Screening
As part of VOTI Detection’s extensive machine learning and artificial intelligence research and development, BioSans MATRIX introduces “Deep Imaging.” Deep Imaging builds on VOTI’s 3D Perspective technology, combining machine learning algorithms with the power of BioSans MATRIX’s operating system neural engine to create detailed and vivid images of threats and contraband. This is achieved by analyzing the combination of high and low energy of raw data, captured immediately as the object is scanned, and fusing them together pixel-by-pixel to optimize for detail and low noise.
OptionalSoftwares Modules
VotiALERT™ is a unique application we developed to provide easy-to-use automated threat assessment management and material classification recognition. It also includes raw image storage, atomic number sequencing, and density alert to identify materials being scanned to alert the operator.
Learn More
VotiALERT™
Automated Management and Classification
The app is able to distinguish prohibited organic, inorganic and mixed materials facilitating identification by the operator. Materials can be visually differentiated with colours based on their make-up enabling the operator to more efficiently identify objects scanned.
Alerts and Prompts
It can also generate automated alerts that appear on the operator screen, and remain tagged on all archived material related to the scan.
These alerts include:
- Inspection & Tagging Recommended (ITR)
- Area of Interest Highlighting (AIH)
- Manual Search Required (MSR)
Prompts, such as Area of Interest highlighting, automatically indicate specific areas that need further inspection. Built-in enhancement tools, such as multiple view options and density enhanceability modes, help the operator manipulate the images and identify objects scanned.
Our Risk Assessment Management (RAM) module has fully customizable detection parameters in addition to 5 security risk assessment levels and automatically changes system parameters at all levels, adjusting the scanning speed and detection sensitivity.
Learn More
VotiRAM™
Automate Security Risk
Depending on the risk status flagged by administrators, our BioSans™ OS running our VotiRAM™ module automatically modifies system settings across the board, adjusting scan speed and detection sensitivity.
Responsive Risk Management
Operators can rest assured that in periods of higher risk, scanners will adjust based on the status to process scans according to the appropriate setting.
Security Level Settings
- SEVERE: when set at the highest risk, objects are screened at a lower speed of 0.11 m/s with the detection system’s sensitivity set to the maximum level of detail.
- HIGH: the screening speed is also lower at 0.11 m/s, however the detection sensitivity is set just below maximum at a high level.
- LOW, GUARDED or ELEVATED: objects are scanned with the detection sensitivity set to regular, and move with a speed of 0.22 m/s. At lower levels, continuous screening is available for operators.
Administrators can determine which employee gets access to Administrator and Supervisor levels to access these features, through their permission settings.
VotiPMD™ is our Precious Metal Detector (PMD) module and it offers a unique auto detection solution (platinum, gold, silver and other metals) for miners, jewelers, electronics suppliers, retailers and manufacturers to guard against theft.
Learn More
VotiPMD™
Using our application powered by BioSans™ OS you can automatically detect and differentiate between metals and precious metals such as gold, platinum, silver and copper.
Automatically Highlight Specified Metals
We use a specifically developed algorithm to detect and highlight precious metals present in items run through our VOTI X-Ray scanners.
Our machines facilitate detection and identification of specific metals by using dual-energy generators that produce both low energy absorption and high energy absorption components as part of every scan.
VotiPMD™ is able to detect the presence of these metals and highlight them with corresponding colours within boxes, packages, suitcases—and even garbage bags!
False Positive Filters
Our detector cards pick up the absorption levels of each energy signal in a matrix of roughly 1000 by 1000 pixels, highlighting in flashing red on the screen each pixel that detects the specific density pattern given off by the precious metal(s) you’re looking to pick up.
We take it one step further with a filtering formula to ensure that a sufficient number of adjoining pixels are in the detection range to reduce the number of false positives.
No Extra Hardware
Our scanners can be used both as security checkpoint scanners and precious metal identification machines, reducing your need for multiple setups.
Like all of our apps, VotiPMD™ also can be configured to pick up customized materials (e.g. lithium), and is just another way that VOTI systems can adjust to your needs and protect your business.
VotiTIP™ is our Threat Image Projection (TIP) application is a management tool that uses extensive image libraries of false threats to occasionally project onto real scans. Administrators can test their operators’ readiness, responsiveness and keep them alert, as well as keep track of individual and unit performance.
Learn More
VotiTIP™
Test Readiness and Measure Performance
Response times are recorded and performance can be assessed based on operator false positive reports. This app does not affect the functionality of the scanner, its features or the operator’s interface, and the operator is informed before manually screening the user’s item that this was a TIP drill.
Keep Operators Alert
Threat Image libraries are based on your Civil Aviation Authority. The library can be modified, with additional threats or contraband added as needed by system administrators.
Flexibility and functionality are paramount with this feature, allowing administrators to set multiple parameters based on your needs. For example, the baggage proportions parameter controls the number of VotiTIP™ images displayed in relation to the number of baggage or objects scanned as a percentage value.
To avoid Threat Image Projection frequency from being predictable, a diversification range option is also adjustable in combination with the proportion parameter.
A random option is also available to automatically determine an unpredictable proportion and diversification range for the scans. Administrators can cycle through settings over a period of time to keep operators alert and engaged.
Reaction Time Analytics
To further analyze operator efficacy, key time measurements are collected within VotiTIP™ that can be used to assess performance and training.
Initial decision period is the length of time that the projected threat is displayed on the monitor based on the speed of the conveyor belt and the operator reacts and stops the conveyor belt.
The threat decision period is measured as from the moment the operator notices the image and stops the conveyor. This second parameter provides the operator with additional time to analyze the image and mitigate the threat appropriately.
