Abstract

The Concealed Weapon Detection (CWD) program was started in 1995 with the goal of deploying automatic detection and recognition of concealed weapons. Under this program, many imaging sensors are being developed. Of the various methods being considered, passive millimeter wave (MMW) imaging sensors offer the best near-term potential for providing a noninvasive method of observing metallic and plastic objects concealed underneath common clothing. When combined with advanced CCD-based video processing systems, an active surveillance system capable of detecting concealed weapons is expected.
