Abstract:Abstract The use of infrared radiation for the detection
of concealed metal objects has been investigated both
theoretically and experimentally. The investigation was
divided into two phases, one which considered passive
techniques, and another which involved active sources of
radiation to probe the subject. Because of the limited
amount of time and equipment available, only primitive
systems were studied, but the results serve as a fundamental
guide to the requirements of a field operational
system. The results obtained show that metals concealed
by clothing can definitely be detected by observing the
far infra-red radiation from the region of the hidden
object. This type of system has the very attractive
feature of high spatial resolution, and can easily distinguish
between dangerous weapons and harmless objects.
