“…Current focus is on developing an imager, capable of showing dangerous threats hidden under clothing. [4][5][6][7] In this context, the TeraSCREEN project 8 aims at developing an innovative security screening system that combines multi-frequency, multi-mode images produced from active and passive subsystems. These subsystems will scan the subjects and return spatial and spectral information, thus allowing for automatic threat (hidden object underneath clothes) recognition.…”

Passive millimeter-wave imaging systems can play a significant role in security applications. Especially, the detection of hidden threats for border security is a growing field. In this paper we propose a novel approach for automatic threat detection using multiple 94 GHz passive millimeter-wave images. Herein, we discuss four steps essential to solving the task: pre-processing, region-of-interest extraction, threat extraction in each frame and, finally, intelligent fusion of the results from all frames. Besides, showing that the proposed method works reliably for the data-set at hand, we also discuss the advantages of using this method in contrast to state-of-the-art methods
