New Falcon framework enhances X-ray threat detection with compositional reasoning

Researchers have introduced Falcon, a novel multimodal framework designed for compositional threat reasoning in X-ray baggage screening. Unlike traditional object-centric models, Falcon abstracts region features into a structured safety state that captures component presence, functional compatibility, and scene-level risk. This structured representation is integrated into a language model to encourage safety-aware reasoning. To evaluate this approach, the team also developed Falcon-X, a benchmark dataset for X-ray imagery that focuses on dense grounding and risk inference, demonstrating Falcon's superiority over existing models in compositional safety reasoning.
