Robust Identification of Concealed Dangerous Substances by Spectral Correlation of Terahertz Transmission Images
(2015)
Terahertz (THz) images containing spectral information in each pixel are recorded in transmission mode using a fiber-coupled time-domain spectroscopy system. The images are acquired by mounting a sample holder on an x-y ...
Robust identification of concealed dangerous substances using THz imaging spectroscopy
(2015)
False alarm rates must be kept sufficiently low if a method to detect and identify objects or substances is to be implemented in real life applications. This is also true when trying to detect and identify dangerous ...
MRTD: to NUC or not to NUC?
(2020-09-21)
We applied a simple method to estimate the Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD) of an LWIR and an MWIR camera. A so-called Siemens star, in our case a thin, black aluminum plate framing a circle that is missing ...
Three-dimensional signal decomposition of infrared image sequences and large-scale non-uniformity analysis
(2020-09-20)
The three-dimensional noise model is a methodology to analyse the noise of a thermal imaging sensor, such as an infrared (IR) camera. This allows us to decompose a noisy signal into components and quantify properties such ...
Detection: how many pixels are required?
(2020-09-23)
In this work, we studied how detection range of a small target changes as a function of the number of defined target pixels. The intuitively simplest method to look for a target in IR images is to look for the “hottest” ...
Non-destructive testing of graphene/epoxy composites using THz waves
(2018-10-05)
In earlier experiments [1] we found there was significant transmission of THz radiation through carbon-fiber enforced composites, despite that fact that the dc conductivity of the carbon fibers is expected to be good and ...
Identification of mixed substances using a random forest regressor to classify THz absorbance spectra
(2018)
We report on the development and application of a random forest regressor that not only identifies but also estimates the relative concentrations of substances (one explosive and two simulants), both in one-substance and ...
MRTD: Man versus machine
(2018)
We present Minimum-Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD) curves obtained by letting an ensemble of observers judge how many of the six four-bar patterns they can “see” in a set of images taken with different bar-to-background ...
Sensitivity of input parameters to modelling of atmospheric transmission of long-wave infrared radiation at sea under warm and humid conditions
(2018)
A joint Australian-Norwegian eld trial (Osprey) was held in February 2018 in Darwin, Australia. The objective
of this trial was to measure IR transmission properties of the atmosphere in a marine environment under warm
and ...
