CALIBRATION PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240328864 titled 'CALIBRATION PANEL
The disclosed mmw wave sensing camera calibration arrangement includes a millimeter wave camera that uses an energy emission calibration panel as a calibration standard. The mmw camera is positioned opposite the calibration panel in its field-of-view. The calibration panel is held at a constant temperature to provide a standard emission of millimeter waves that is sensed by an mmw sensor to calibrate the camera to a baseline emissivity value corresponding to the panel. The camera is linked to a microprocessor and computer memory containing a calibration routine that resets the baseline only when the panel's field-of-view is unobstructed. A visual display shows an mmw signature of a metal object on a person's body when the body is in the camera's field-of-view, even if the metal object is concealed by clothing.
- Uses an energy emission calibration panel as a standard for calibration
- Constant temperature of the calibration panel ensures consistent emission of millimeter waves
- Microprocessor and computer memory contain a calibration routine for resetting baseline emissivity
- Visual display shows mmw signature of metal objects on a person's body, even if concealed by clothing
- Calibration is only reset when the calibration panel's field-of-view is unobstructed
Potential Applications: - Security screening at airports or high-security facilities - Medical imaging for detecting hidden metal objects on patients - Industrial applications for quality control and inspection processes
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate calibration of millimeter wave cameras - Detects metal objects on a person's body even if concealed by clothing - Provides a reliable standard for emission of millimeter waves
Benefits: - Enhanced security measures - Improved accuracy in medical imaging - Streamlined industrial inspection processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Millimeter Wave Camera Calibration System This technology can be used in security systems, medical imaging devices, and industrial inspection equipment. The market implications include increased efficiency, accuracy, and safety in various industries.
Questions about Millimeter Wave Camera Calibration System: 1. How does the calibration panel ensure accurate calibration of the millimeter wave camera? The calibration panel provides a standard emission of millimeter waves at a constant temperature, allowing the camera to set a baseline emissivity value for accurate calibration.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond security screening and medical imaging? This technology can also be used in industrial settings for quality control and inspection processes, where detecting hidden metal objects is crucial for safety and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosed mmw wave sensing camera calibration arrangement that generally includes a millimeter wave camera that uses an energy emission calibration panel as a calibration standard. the mmw camera is positioned opposite the calibration panel in the mmw camera's field-of-view. the calibration panel is held at a constant temperature to provide a standard emission of millimeter waves that is sensed by an mmw sensor to set or otherwise calibrate the mmw camera to a baseline emissivity value corresponding to the panel. the mmw camera is linked to a microprocessor and non-transient computer memory containing a calibration routine that is configured to reset the baseline only when nothing obstructs the calibration panel's field-of-view. a visual display is linked to the mmw camera and configured to display an mmw signature of a metal object that is disposed on a person's body when the person's body is in the field-of-view, the metal object concealed by clothing worn over the person's body.
