Abstract
A method of detecting threats. A threat detection system is provided that includes a controller, a millimeter wave radar, a signature database and a camera. The signature database or machine learning includes time and frequency domain characteristic data for a threat. A signal is emitted by the millimeter wave radar. A return signal is received when the signal bounces off an object. Time and frequency domain characteristic data of the return signal is compared to the signature database or the machine learned characteristics to determine the threat, anomaly, foreign object and material characteristics.
Claims21
A method of detecting threats comprising:
- providing a threat detection system comprising a controller, a millimeter wave radar, a signature database and a camera, wherein the signature database comprises a time and frequency domain characteristic data for a threat;
- emitting a signal by the millimeter wave radar;
- receiving a return signal when the signal bounces off an object;
- and
- comparing time and frequency domain characteristic data of the return signal to the signature database.
A threat detection system comprising:
- a controller;
- a millimeter wave radar that is capable of emitting a signal and receiving a return signal that bounces off an object;
- a signature database that contains time and frequency domain characteristic data for at least one threat, wherein the controller compares the return signal to the time and frequency characteristic data to identify a threat;
- and
- a camera that is directed to the threat and captures an image of the threat.
A threat detection system comprising
- a controller;
- a millimeter wave radar that is capable of emitting a signal and receiving a return signal that bounces off an object;
- a signature database that comprises time and frequency domain characteristic data for at least one threat, wherein the controller compares the return signal to the time and frequency characteristic data to identify a threat;
- and
- an access control device that is associated with a structure, wherein the access control device engages the threat is detected.
