Millimetre Wave 3D Imaging for Industrial Applications

Within the next few years, improvements in graphic rendering and the application of millimetre wave radar technology will, together, allow operators of industrial processes in poor visibility environments to control their machines remotely. At the ACFR, we have been developing the 3D radar systems and displays to make this a reality in the mining industry. This paper discusses the principles involved in generating such images, and gives a number of examples of systems that have been implemented in the field.
