Abstract
The present application is directed to image beat pattern mitigation in two-sided reflection based 3-D millimeter wave imaging. In one example, active millimeter-wave (mmWave) imaging illuminates a scene with a source of mm Wave energy and forms images based on the reflected energy. Two-sided reflection imaging can be used to overcome the occlusion by the opaque objects that would plague a transmission imaging approach. The system can produce beat-pattern-free 3-D images of the products inside an optically-opaque corrugated cardboard shipping box and further, the two-sided reflection imaging approach with image beat pattern correction shows an increased image volume even if portions of the scene are occluded.
