In response to the ever-increasing global threat of terrorist attacks, the personal screening industry has been growing at a rapid rate. Many methods have been developed for detecting concealed weapons and explosives on the human body. In this important new book, the authors discuss their experiences over the last decade designing and testing microwave and millimetre wave detection and screening... Read more

"... focuses on an aspect that is ... usually not a search area for remote sensing researchers, but is a field interesting to know. ... deals with a synthesis of research in the detection of metallic and dielectric objects (without electrical conduction)."
—Jean-Marie Dubois, Professor Emeritus, University of Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, from Bulletin d'AQT
