基于会聚球面波数字聚焦的安检毫米波成像新方法研究

Security & inspection techniques for counter-terrorism are in great demand especially for important application scenarios such as airport, frontier port, and urban rail transit. Millimeter-wave (MMW)/THz imaging techniques have great application potentials in security inspection of body concealed hazard items, and the initial applications have already been promoted in several foreign countries. However, there are still some restrictions limiting the application of this technology. Firstly, requirements of short-range and long-range imaging cannot simultaneously be satisfied. Secondly, advantages of the active and the passive imaging systems cannot be achieved at the same time. Finally, the contradiction between real-time imaging and spatial resolution needs to be carefully dealt with. Therefore, it has significant scientific meanings to explore and develop a novel imaging method and relevant techniques to satisfy the demands on the simultaneous short-range and long-range imaging capability, the compound active and passive imaging power, and the real-time imaging ability with extended depth of field and high spatial resolution. . Targeting at this issue, the imaging mechanism with extended depth of field and digital focusing abilities based on converging spherical waves will firstly be studied. The compound active and passive imaging methods to improve the image quality will then be explored to process and merge the active imaging data with multi-polarization information acquired by the heterogeneous MMW imaging modules and antenna arrays with the passive ones detected by the MMW radiometry. Taking advantage of the quasi-optical rapid scanning, a digital-focusing MMW imaging method with extended depth of field based on converging spherical waves will be proposed. An experimental prototype of the imaging system will be manufactured and tested in typical application scenarios to validate the proposed imaging mechanisms and methods. The research achievements will lay both theoretical and practical foundations for developing novel MMW/THz imaging systems for human body security inspection applications.
