Optically-augmented microwave imaging system and method

摘要

In an imaging system (10) which includes an optical (visible-light or near IR) imaging system (100) and a microwave imaging system (200), the optical imaging system (100) captures an optical image of the object (20), produces optical image data (165) representing the optical image and extracts optical image information (175) from the optical image data (165). The microwave imaging system (200) produces microwave image data (255) representing a microwave image of the object (20) in response to the optical image information (175).
