“…Several studies focus on the creation of these systems [23], [34]. In addition, several studies perform multiple object detection and tracking [20], hidden object detection [19], [21], [22], [25], [28], [31], and military target detection [26] with analytical models that take passive millimeter wave images as input data. Another group of radiometers generates one dimensional radiation profiles.…”

The increasing bandwidth requirement of new wireless applications has lead to standardization of the millimeter wave spectrum for high-speed wireless communication. The millimeter wave spectrum is part of 5G and covers frequencies between 30 and 300 GHz corresponding to wavelengths ranging from 10 to 1 mm. Although millimeter wave is often considered as a communication medium, it has also proved to be an excellent 'sensor', thanks to its narrow beams, operation across a wide bandwidth, and interaction with atmospheric constituents. In this paper, which is to the best of our knowledge the first review that completely covers millimeter wave sensing application pipelines, we provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of different basic application pipeline building blocks, including hardware, algorithms, analytical models, and model evaluation techniques. The review also provides a taxonomy that highlights different millimeter wave sensing application domains. By performing a thorough analysis, complying with the systematic literature review methodology and reviewing 165 papers, we not only extend previous investigations focused only on communication aspects of the millimeter wave technology and using millimeter wave technology for active imaging, but also highlight scientific and technological challenges and trends, and provide a future perspective for applications of millimeter wave as a sensing technology.

This paper addresses a method of concealed objects detection by passive millimeter wave (PMMW) images, and on this basis, the fusion techniques of passive millimeter-wave images and optical images is discussed. According to PMMW real-time imager acquired image characteristics and storage methods, firstly, using correlation coefficient method to screen sequence images and the selected images are optimized using wavelet fusion algorithm. Secondly, the concealed objects are detected by Gaussian filter, threshold segmentation and edge detection. Finally, based on YIQ transform, discrete wavelet transform and a fusion rule, the optical image and the extracted concealed object contour are merged. The experimental results show that the proposed method can be effectively applied to human body concealed object detection in millimeter wave video and fuse two different types of images in a fully automated way.
