Millimeter- and Submillimeter-Wave Imaging Technologies for Biometric Purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inherent restrictions of human body images acquired at visible spectrum hinder the performance of person recognition systems built using that kind of information (e.g. scene artifacts under varying illumination conditions). One promising approach for dealing with those limitations is using images acquired out of the visible spectrum. This paper reviews some of the existing human body imaging technologies working beyond the visible spectrum (X-ray, Infrared, Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave imaging technologies). The pros and cons of each technology and their biometric applications are presented, with special attention to Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave imaging.

Further analysis has been made on the millimeter and submillimeter-wave (100–1600 GHz or 3 mm – 188 μm) atmospheric opacity data taken with the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) at Pampa la Bola, 4800 m above sea level in northern Chile, which is the site of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Time-sequence plots of millimeter and submillimeter-wave opacities show simila...
متن کاملProyecto Fin De Carrera
In this M.Sc. Thesis, a biometric recognition system based on images simulated at the millimeter wave band of the electromagnetic spectrum is implemented and tested. In particular, body geometry information obtained from the silhouette of the body is used to determine the user's identity. In order to achieve this goal, firstly, some existing human body imaging technologies working beyond the vi...
