GEN2 Millimeter Wave Object Detection and People ScreeningTechnology
GEN 2 technology by Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc. is composed of a real-time Radiometric Scanner that images electromagnetic millimeter wave energy, an integrated full-motion video camera, on-board on-board computer, and sophisticated, intelligent intelligent video detection engine. Using the GEN 2 value-added detection engine’s capability, your security screeners will automatically be alerted and can easily pinpoint concealed objects without intrusive, time consuming, personnel- intensive and potentially dangerous physical searches, while allowing security screeners and law enforcement officers to perform “virtual” pat downs from a distance without direct contact. GEN2
provides an effective means to manage threats before they become harmful incidents.
GEN 2 Passive Millimeter Wave (PMMW) systems detect objects concealed under the clothing of human subjects. The systems use a radiometer (radiometric sensor) and optics to present an image of the naturally occurring Millimeter Wave (MMW) energy present in the Field of View (FOV). All objects emit MMW energy of varying characteristics based upon their temperature and molecular composition. Using the energy emitted by humans as a backlight, the system displays anomalous areas of contrast (difference) between human subjects and objects . GEN 2
These systems are passive and do not use any form of active radiation or emissions to illuminate the subject. The PMMW systems display a silhouette-like image of the person present in its FOV and do not display anatomical details of the body. Objects made of metal, plastic, ceramic, or composite materials present on the person and concealed under the clothing may be displayed as areas of anomalies.
Characteristics and Benefits of Passive Millimeter Waves (PMMW)
GEN 2 systems detect both metallic and non-metallic objects as follows: Weapons and Explosives – Chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear devices. Fire arms, knives, nun chucks, hand grenades, lasers, bombs. Drugs or Medicines – Marijuana, cocaine, pill bottles, syringes, pill foil packs, liquid prescriptions. Handheld Electronics – Cell phones, electronic games, music players, reading devices, digital cameras, GPS devices. Media Accessories – CDs, DVDs, phone cards**, game cartridges. Apparel, Health, and Beauty – Belts, cologne/perfume, wallets, cigarette packs, razors**, cosmetics. Food and Beverage – Bottles, flasks, packaged goods, plastic bags, canned goods, meat . Border and Customs Applications
New technologies such as passive millimeter wave whole body scanners are being integrated into customs checkpoints in airports and at border access points across the globe. Gen 2 systems emit no radiation or energy to the person being screened, but simply receive the body’s natural millimeter wave energy. With the ability to read through clothing, GEN2 systems detect objects blocking this millimeter wave energy. The GEN 2 Borders & Customs solution delivers high throughput scanners that can be easily integrated into existing security procedures. Security personnel are better able to perform their duties by effectively managing traffic flow, minimizing time delays at checkpoints, eliminating health concerns, and rotectin rivac Innovative Detection/Screening Solutions Every day, GEN 2 cutting edge object detection/people screening system offers unsurpassed technology meeting security challenges in high threat environments. The GEN 2 powered and manufactured by Bri jot Imaging Systems, combines innovative engineering, quality materials, workmanship, outstanding customer service, and competitive pricing to bring you exceptional value.
Functional Considerations
Standard Deployment: Indoor and
outdoor environments. Some indoor settings and all outdoor deployment may require environment altering as specified by certified implementation personnel. Indoor Deployment Considerations: Ambient air
temperature not to regularly exceed 26° C (80° F). Anomalous heat sources behind walls and beneath floors. Sources of energy including sky access and reflective interior surfaces. Other Deployment Considerations: Traditional CCTV deployment considerations apply. Minimize saturation – Avoid facing system directly into sunlight (CCTV camera consideration) or at the sky (millimeter wave system component consideration). Though the radiometer can operate in lowor no-light settings, the integral CCTV component requires lighting the FOV for effective video imaging.
Features Imaging Capabilities: Metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, glass, liquids, gels, explosives, weapons, currency, tobacco goods, and wood — including those commonly used to construct weapons and explosive devices. Minimum Object Size: Imaged pixel size: Approximately 5 cm x 5 cm (2 in x 2 in). Detection engine optimization: Approximately 7.6 cm x 12 cm (3.0 in x 5.0 in) Large Object Detection: System’s detection engine can be programmed to treat identification of large objects differently. System’s alarm utility can be used to configure and trigger specific actions upon detection. Simultaneous Processing: Detection engine processes multiple simultaneous detections. GUI displays up to 3 detection or “Large Object” icons at a time and features a contiguous running event log. Fully-Integrated On-Board Computer: Pentium®-based processor enables stand-alone operation without external PC connection. Microsoft Windows XP™ Operating System integrates with local area networks for remote viewing and control via GEN 2 Application Software and APIs. Anti-Tamper Software: Applications actively prevent, detect and react to tampering and reverse engineering. Imaging Speed: MMW radiometer 4 to 12 frames per second (FPS); CCTV 30 FPS Detection Engine Indications: Boxes in three colors appear at the location of detection on subject video image. Detection box features a black outside line, a white middle line and one of the following colors as the inside line, determined by the user-defined detection settings: Blue: [D2] level detection (warning) • Yellow: [D1] level detection (alarm) • Red: [L] large object detection. A corresponding colored box also appears on the “Detection Status” area of the GUI with “D1,” “D2 “or “L” detection status icons.
Interfaces Analog Video Output: NTSC or PAL, BNC connector Monitor Output: D-sub 15 (VGA) connector (1024 x 768 72 Hz default) Control, Setup and Monitoring: 10/100 Ethernet, RJ45 Peripheral Interface: Two USB 2.0; two IEEE 1394a (FireWire) Keyboard/Mouse: Combined PS/2-type mini-DIN connector Discrete I/O: 10 Position Phoenix™ connector; three user -defined outputs (dry contact Form C relay) and two user- defined inputs (opto-isolated) Audio: One 3.5 mm jack for LINE OUT; one 3.5 mm jack for MIC IN
