Perimeter Fence Integrity Mesh

The fence itself becomes a sensor — cutting, climbing, gate left open.

Strong theory Strong theory

The physics is solid; our own validation is scheduled.

A metal fence reflects WiFi in a steady, familiar pattern. Cut a section or open a gate and part of that pattern vanishes for good. A climber adds their own moving ripple on top, plus the ringing of the fence as it shakes under them.

In the physics: A chain-link or metal fence is a strong, spatially extended scatterer defining stable inter-node multipath; cutting a section or opening a gate removes/moves reflectors, permanently altering specific CIR taps (static geometry change), while a climber adds transient 1-5 Hz body Doppler plus fence-vibration micro-Doppler at 5-20 Hz as the structure rings.

How the field becomes an answer

CIR sparse recovery per fence segment (stage 1) compartment Kalman per segment + CUSUM for cut/open/removed states (stage 6) in parallel with micro-Doppler climb/vibration templates (stage 2) RTI along the fence line localizes the breach segment (stage 4).

How we prove it

Own-hardware 30 m fence rig: cut, climb, gate-open, wind-only, and animal-contact trials (50 each), report per-class detection and localization error; no public dataset covers fences.

Who it is for

"A 300-meter fence monitored for the price of one PTZ camera — and it works in fog." For HOA/gated-community perimeter budgets and rural estates.
