  • Abstract
    The growing need to detect non-metallic, concealed threats at venues ranging from airports to sports arenas has created a demand for low-cost, close-range whole-body imaging systems. The adaptation of low-cost wireless communication hardware for millimeter-wave imaging has made possible to design a system that satisfies this demand. The integration of 3D point cloud data has created a multi-modal, fused system that leverages both imaging technologies.
