A method of and a system for sharp object detection using computed
tomography images are provided. The method comprises identifying voxels
corresponding to individual objects; performing eigen-analysis and
generating eigen-projection of an identified object; computing an axial
concavity ratio of the identified object; computing a pointness
measurement of the identified object; computing a flat area of the
identified object; calculating a sharpness score of the identified
object; and declaring the identified object as a threat if the sharpness
score is greater than a pre-defined threshold.
