| contents | This paper introduces MMW-Carry, a system designed to predict the probability of individuals carrying various objects using millimeter-wave radar signals, complemented by camera input. The primary goal of MMW-Carry is to provide a rapid and cost-effective preliminary screening solution, specifically tailored for non-super-sensitive scenarios. Overall, MMW-Carry achieves significant advancements in two crucial aspects. Firstly, it addresses localization challenges in complex indoor environments caused by multi-path reflections, enhancing the system's overall robustness. This is accomplished by the integration of camera-based human detection, tracking, and the radar-camera plane transformation for obtaining subjects' spatial occupancy region, followed by a zooming-in operation on the radar images. Secondly, the system performance is elevated by leveraging long-term observation of a subject. This is realized through the intelligent fusion of neural network results from multiple different-view radar images of an in-track moving subject and their carried objects, facilitated by a proposed knowledge-transfer module. Our experiment results demonstrate that MMW-Carry detects objects with an average error rate of 25.22\% false positives and a 21.71\% missing rate for individuals moving randomly in a large indoor space, carrying the common-in-everyday-life objects, both in open carry or concealed ways. These findings affirm MMW-Carry's potential to extend its capabilities to detect a broader range of objects for diverse applications. |
