Abstract

Interferometric imaging is a non-invasive, non-contact method to detect concealed lethal agents employing spectral imaging in the terahertz (THz) range. Parallel to the experimental testing over short range, extensive modeling simulates reconstructed images of lethal agents at different frequencies applying interferometric techniques. Near-field correction to such imaging has been accounted for and edge probe algorithm and consequent artificial neural network analyses identify the agents under consideration. This work addresses the issues related to THz imaging for rapid and successful recognition of lethal agents in security screening.
