Abstract(in English) To enhance security at facilities such as railway stations and commercial buildings where many people come and go without losing user convenience, we have developed a walk-through security screening system which does not require people to stop walking. This system generates images of the screening target based on microwave radar, and detects concealed dangerous objects from those images. Imaging function needs a large amount of processing, and in addition a high frame rate (at least 10 fps) is also required to screen the moving target. Although our current prototype works on a large GPU server, it is desirable to minimize the entire system for practical applications. Therefore, we focus on FPGA that has advantage in minimization, and implement imaging processing on it. With appropriate parallel processing design and implementation, it is confirmed that imaging runs within 70 ms (<100 ms), which is fast enough to achieve 10 fps rate.
