Imaging method for detecting object in industrial environment, involves receiving radiation transmitted through object or reflected from object in viewing direction, such that illumination direction and viewing direction are different

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves generating image of object (2) by electromagnetic radiation in terahertz (THz) frequency range synthetically. The electromagnetic radiation is so emitted, such that the object is illuminated with an illumination direction (20). The radiation transmitted through object or reflected from object is received in viewing direction (21), such that illumination direction and viewing direction are different. The illumination direction and viewing direction are realized, such that electromagnetic radiation is coupled to radiating elements of antenna array (28). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for an imaging device for detecting object. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Imaging method for detecting object using THz radiation, in industrial environment. Can also be used in medical, security and process control and product testing fields. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The object can be detected from perspectives figuratively, without the need for moving object and device relative to each other. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the image capture device. 2 : Object 20 : Illumination direction 21 : Viewing direction 24 : Receiving elements 28 : Antenna array.
