63 -- COMMERCIALIZATION OF MILLIMETER WAVE HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR PERSONAL SECURITY APPLICATIONS DUE 101300 POC Gary B. Morgan (509) 375-2372 WEB: http://www.pnl.gov/nsd/commercial/scanner/index.html, http://www.pnl.gove/nsd/commercial/scanner/index.html. E-MAIL: Click here to e-mail Commercialization Manager for, gary.morgan@pnl.gov. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) seeks interested parties to commercialize an intellectual property portfolio of inventions pertaining to applications and methods for its millimeter wave holographic imaging technology. PNNL researchers have developed technology that can identify metal, plastic and ceramic weapons concealed under clothing. It emits millimeter waves that penetrate clothing, but bounce off the body and other objects. These reflected waves are quickly picked up by a transceiver, digitized and sent to a computer. Patented 3-D holographic image-processing techniques form high-resolution radar images of the person under surveillance along with any associated body-worn concealed object. Privacy algorithms based on neural networks and other image processing techniques are then used to locate and segment the concealed objects and place any detected object on a gender-neutral wire frame mannequin or human silhouette. Inventions include a 'single panel planar portal' prototype. Posted 08/28/00 (W-SN490991). (0241)
