Abstract

Narcotics should be strictly controlled as they can cause great disruption to society. Narcotics mostly flow into ports from major narcotic makers via transit points and through cargo containers. To prevent narcotic entry through smuggling, airports use animals or detect narcotics through X-rays. However, the use of animals in ports is not practical, and the method using X-rays sometimes does not detect substance narcotics with low atomic numbers. In this paper, we aimed to detect and classify narcotics using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) data generated by inhaling air inside the container. To classify narcotic IMS data consisting of time-series data, the performance was improved using a time-series classification machine learning algorithm instead of the threshold method previously used. To this end, K-nearest neighbor, time-series forest, and random convolutional kernel algorithms were applied to the proposed algorithm considering the features of narcotic IMS data. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithm, and it reduces the classification performance processing time up to 5 s with more than 0.9 accuracy level.
