Abstract
En 中文
A novel 3-D surface imaging method based on terahertz (THz) dual-frequency interferometry is proposed for the detection and imaging of metal objects. The interferometer is formed first in the range direction with two azimuth-elevation images at different THz frequencies. Then, the 3-D surface image can be obtained by interference processing of two azimuth-elevation imaging results. Compared with the traditional wideband 3-D imaging, the proposed method can avoid the nonlinear error caused by the signal nonlinearity. In addition, the image registration for the interference processing is evitable, when the frequency difference satisfies certain conditions. Based on the electromagnetic calculation data, the 3-D surface imaging results of both rough cone and rough cube validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, the reconstruction error increases slightly with the increasing of the error of frequency difference, which indicates that the proposed method has a good tolerance with respect to frequency instability.
