Abstract:

The use of infra-red radiation for the detection

of conceal ed metal objects has been investiga ted 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 dis-

:tinguish between dangerous weapons and harmless objects.
