Abstract: A system and method for a smart stand-alone multi-sensor gateway for detection of person-borne threats. The multi-sensor gateway system consists of two pillars comprising a plurality of sensors that build a gateway for patrons to pass through that detects concealed threats carried on-body. The threat detection relies on artificial intelligence (Al) to analyze the sensors’ data and assess the presence of a threat. The Al is performed on an edge device contained within the gateway. The gateway can consist of a plurality of peripherals that enhance the sensing capability of the gateway, such as a camera or an accelerometer, and provide the security guard with information around alerts and threat locations such as with displays or audible alerts and manage the operations such as displays to control throughput.
