PN42.59

Standard for Measuring the Imaging Performance of Millimeter-Wave Systems for Security Screening of Humans

This standard defines a set of Image Quality Indicators (IQIs) that may be used by security screening systems that utilize millimeter wave (MMW) radiation to actively inspect persons who are not inside vehicles, containers, or enclosures. The standard's IQIs apply to systems used to detect objects carried on the body of the individual being exposed. For the purposes of this standard, the test objects are appropriately applied to systems that use probe radiation from 3 GHz to 150 GHz (100 mm to 2 mm). Each IQI has a specified test phantom, test method, and objective analysis algorithm. The imagery that is the focus of this standard is that presented to the Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) algorithm, not the image presented to a human screener.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
