- auxiliary computer equipment for example, an external host device
- an RF test port may be included for calibration of the RF circuitry.
- the exemplary system 10 preferably utilizes two modes of measurement, namely, an optical module 30 and radar module 40 .
- the data from both modules 30 , 40 is streamed into a processing engine 60 wherein the optical and radar streams are co-processed, aligned and results delivered to a mobile computing device or other auxiliary computer equipment for display.
- a digital signal processor (DSP) 61 may also be included.
- DSP digital signal processor
- Subsequent measurement extraction can operate on the 3D data and extracted results can be supplied to a garment fitting engine.
- An alternative embodiment will send optical data to the radar unit which will interleave the optical with the radar data and provide a single USB connection to the host processor.
- the optical data can also be written to an external memory to buffer optical data frames.
- An electronic memory 62 temporarily stores range information from previous scans.
- the stored data from prior scans can augment processing with current samples as the radar moves about the subject to obtain a refined representation of the body and determine body features via Doppler processing or moving target indicator (MTI) algorithms.
- the system 10 allows the host platform to use both the optical and radar system to determine two surfaces of an individual, i.e. the garment surface and the wearer's body surface.
- the radar unit may also parse the optical range data and use this information to solve for range solutions and eliminate ghosts or range ambiguity.
- the optical module 30 includes a 3D camera 32 which is configured such that the integrated 3D data structure provides a 3D point cloud (garment and body), regions of volumetric disparity (as specified by operator), and a statistical representation of both surfaces.
- the 3D camera 32 generally includes at least two spaced apart lenses 34 which are each configured to capture an image and the captured images from spaced perspectives are integrated to form the 3D image.
- Such 3D optical camera systems are widely available from a number of manufacturers, for example the Intel Real Sense 3D optical camera scanner system, and have recently been integrated into mobile devices.
- the optical system maintains an inertial state vector with respect to a fixed coordinate reference frame and with respect to the body.
- the state information which includes orientation, translation and rotation of the unit is used along with the known physical offsets of the antenna elements with respect to the handled center of gravity to provide corrections and update range estimates for each virtual antenna.
- the inertial information can be obtained from the on-board intertial measurement unit (IMU) 26 which is sensitive to physical forces and/or the optical camera system processing which can make corrections of translation and rotations with respect to the body.
- IMU intertial measurement unit
- the radar module 40 generally comprises a waveform generator 42 capable of producing a suitable waveform for range determination; one or more antenna assemblies 50 with at least one transmitting element (emitter) 52 and at least one receiving element (receiver) 54 ; a frequency multiplier 47 , a transmit selection switch 48 and a down-converter (stretch processor) 46 which is a matched filter which provides a beat frequency by comparing the instantaneous phase of the received target waveform with that of a replica of the transmitted signal, via the quadrature outputs 55 .
- An SSB mixer 44 may be included to perform up-conversion to impart constant frequency shift. This functional block is not mandatory but a design enhancement to combat issues with feedthrough.
- the preferred waveform is a linear frequency modulated (LFM) chirp pulse, however, other waveforms may be utilized.
- the radar is preferably an extremely broadband system.
- An exemplary radar module may be, for example, an X/Ku-band operation.
- the LFM system preferably includes a delayed replica of the transmission burst to make a comparison with the return pulse. In the kiosk-based system, this delay is calibrated and fixed due to a relatively stationary target and a radar platform which rotates on a fixed armature. Due to the fact that the operator using a hand-held scanner cannot reliably maintain a fixed separation from the subject, a laser range finder, optical system or other proximity sensor can aid in tracking this separation to the subject's outer garment. This information will be used to validate the radar measurements made using the LFM system and compensate the delay parameters accordingly. Since the optical 3d camera or laser cannot measure to the skin, the UWB radar is responsible for making this measurement.
- the waveform generator 42 emits a low power non-ionizing millimeter wave operating between 69-75 GHz which passes through clothing and reflects off of the skin and returns a scattered response to the radar receiving aperture.
- the ultra-wideband radar unit consists of two or more co-linear antenna elements 52 , 54 having a known spatial separation.
- This embodiment uses four apertures 56 with associated transmitting elements 52 and receiving elements 54 having a relative spacing of 1:1:2 (for example, 3 inches to 3 inches to 6 inches between elements); however different arrangements are possible to meet both geometric and cost objectives.
- each element takes a turn as the emitter, and other elements are receivers.
- a single aperture 56 can be used for both transmitting and receiving; but a dual aperture can also be used to achieve high isolation between transmit and receive elements for a given channel.
- the antennas 50 can be arranged to transmit with specific wave polarizations to achieve additional isolation or to be more sensitive to a given polarization sense as determined by the target.
- This embodiment uses separate waveguide rectangular horn apertures milled into an Aluminum housing having the same vertical polarization. All antenna selections are accomplished via an electronic switch 48 under computer control.
- the waveform emitted in the direction of the body is a linear frequency modulated (LFM) ramp which sweeps across several Gigahertz of bandwidth.
- LFM linear frequency modulated
- the waveform can be the same for all antenna pairs or it can be changed to express features of the reflective surface.
- the bandwidth determines the unambiguous spatial resolution achievable by the radar.
- Other radar waveforms and implementations can be used, but this embodiment utilizes an LFM triangular waveform.
- the radar processor unit generally includes a clock source 64 to provide a precision time base to operate processor, memory circuits and sampling clock for ADCs; a processor 60 responsible for configuration of the radar unit, processing raw radar data, and computing range solution; an external memory 62 which stores raw radar waveforms for processing and also stores calibration information and waveform correction; analog to digital converters 66 ; anti-aliasing filters 68 which are used to filter analog signal for lowpass (i.e. first Nyquist zone) or band pass (i.e. Intermediate Frequency IF) sampling; digital and analog mux electronics 70 , and CPLD or FPGA 72 which coordinate timing of events.
- a clock source 64 to provide a precision time base to operate processor, memory circuits and sampling clock for ADCs
- a processor 60 responsible for configuration of the radar unit, processing raw radar data, and computing range solution
- an external memory 62 which stores raw radar waveforms for processing and also stores calibration information and waveform correction
- analog to digital converters 66 which stores raw radar waveforms for processing and also
- a range determination can be made to the subject via the process of trilateration (for a pair) or multilateration (for a set) of elements.
- the reflected waveform is mixed with a replica of the transmitted waveform and a beat frequency is produced.
- This beat frequency maps directly to the propagation delay of the ramping waveform.
- the total path length is resolved by performing a Fourier Transformation on the output of the LFM radar to extract the spectral frequency content.
- Alternative analysis techniques involve Prony's Method.
- the output of the Prony method is capable of extracting frequency, amplitude, phase as well as a damping parameter from a uniformly sampled signal.
- the utility of the Prony analysis allows parameter extraction in the presence of noise.
- Prominent spectral peaks indicate the round-trip distance to the various scattering surfaces. It is well established in the art how this processing is performed.
- Other methods may alternatively be utilized.
- the radar system can also utilize a Side Scan Radar algorithm to determine the range information to the target.
- the Side Scan Radar algorithm can be used alone or in conjunction with trilateration.
- Increased spatial resolution can be obtained by using the phase information available from a set of quadrature outputs from the deramp mixers.
- the details of the quadrature converter follow below.
- the phase information may also be used to measure changes in range with high precision.
- the instantaneous beat frequency from the de-ramping mixer will steadily increase or decrease in the direction of a range bin accumulating a full 2/ ⁇ of additional phase for each ⁇ /2 change in distance.
- This phase change can be described as follows:
- a highly linear ramp must comprise a known portion of the waveform (ideally at the start of the pulse) such that a low-frequency beat is produced for a given reflector distance, for a duration long enough to ascertain a phase reading.
- the waveform may continue a linear sweep or any desired characteristic (parabolic, exponential, etc.).
- the phase tracking can be performed on any number of targets, so long as the velocity of the platform is slow enough so as to not exceed the spatial sampling ability of the platform.
- the instantaneous velocity which should not be exceed for any target needing to be tracked can be calculated as follows:
- the unambiguous resolution bins of the system are determined by the bandwidth of the radar.
- the frequency resolution of the receiver is determined by the modulation period, so a LFM radar range resolution is a function of both chirp bandwidth and modulation period. For systems which inter-bin range will accumulate phase until one full cycle is registered, at which point the next range bin has been reached.
- a display 80 is updated indicating the regions of coverage, as illustrated in FIG. 8 .
- the operator will see a real-time update of the acquired scan with on-screen indications 82 where areas of the have been scanned and where the body may still need to be scanned.
- the display information is useful to assist the operator of the device to make sure that all surfaces of the body have been scanned.
- a simple embodiment of this concept is to show a silhouette of the body in black and white or gray scale to indicate the areas of the body that have been scanned.
- the portable scanner will allow large volumes of fully clothed customers to be rapidly scanned and do so at a fraction of the cost of the existing kiosk-based scanner unit.
- a significant benefit of this technology is that the handheld unit will not be constrained in a fixed orientation with respect to the subject, so challenging measurements can be made to areas of the body which might otherwise be difficult to perform with a fixed structure. Additionally, the combination of two spatial measurement systems working cooperatively can provide a higher fidelity reproduction of the dimensionality of the individual.
