Standoff detection system

A method for detecting objects in a three-dimensional space defined by four walls, the method comprising:

• emitting, by a plurality of transmitters oriented in a respective plurality of directions, signals to produce uniform millimeter wave illumination of the three-dimensional space, with at least one transmitter of the plurality of transmitters being located on each of the four walls;
• determining, by a plurality of receivers, object data including a direction, a phase, and a timing of signals reflected from one or more objects within the three-dimensional space, with at least one receiver of the plurality of receivers being located on each of the four walls;
• detecting, by a processor, the one or more objects in the three-dimensional space based on the object data;
• and
• rendering, by the processor, an image corresponding to the one or more detected objects.

A detection device comprising:

• a plurality of transmitters oriented in a respective plurality of directions and configured to produce uniform millimeter wave illumination of a three-dimensional space defined by four walls, with at least one transmitter of the plurality of transmitters being configured to be placed on each of the four walls;
• a plurality of receivers configured to determine object data including a direction, a phase, and a timing of signals reflected from one or more objects within the three-dimensional space, with at least one receiver of the plurality of receivers being configured to be placed on each of the four walls;
• and
• a processor configured to receive the object data, detect the one or more objects in the three-dimensional space based on the object data, and render an image corresponding to the one or more detected objects.
