MMW Radiometric Image Feature Extraction for Security Inspection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Millimeter-wave (MMW) radiometric imaging system is widely used in the field of military and civil affairs. It can be used to detect concealed objects hidden under clothing. Based on MMW radiation imaging method and morphology theory, we presented a complex morphology filter to do the image pretreatment. Then used the Canny operator to extract features from concealed objects. The results show that the morphology algorithm can improve the quality of radiometric images. Meanwhile, Canny algorithm can detect the edges of object well.
