[0002] Millimeter-wave holographic imaging technology can effectively detect items hidden in various parts of the human body under clothing without directly contacting the human body, especially non-metallic items. In addition, millimeter-wave human imaging devices have the characteristics of being harmless to the human body and having strong penetration. Its transmission power is less than one-thousandth of the electromagnetic wave radiation of a mobile phone.

Therefore, the target detection model not only needs to detect concealed items but also accurately classify the concealed objects. Most current target detection models can accurately detect concealed objects in most cases, but how to correctly classify concealed objects still faces challenges, and this problem restricts the widespread application of millimeter-wave human concealed object security inspection.
