A holographic solution for concealed object detection

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A novel, inexpensive technique for the detection of concealed objects is outlined. The ability of this intensity only technique to recover phase information about the object under test proves to be significant in the imaging of concealed objects. A brief examination of the underlying theory followed by a description of the experimental system is presented along with some initial results obtained from the imaging of three different concealed objects.
