CAMERA ASSISTED SENSOR IMAGING SYSTEM FOR DERIVING RADIATION INTENSITY INFORMATION AND ORIENTATION INFORMATION

The present invention relates to the fields of imaging systems, security screenings, contraband object detection, microwave screening, millimeter wave screening and Terahertz screening. The present invention especially relates to a camera assisted sensor imaging system and a multi aspect imaging system.The camera assisted sensor imaging system according to the present invention comprises an optical and/or infrared camera unit for generating camera image information, a processing and control unit for detecting targets based on the generated camera image information, and a sensor unit adapted to successively scan portions of a detected target and to generate a plurality of corresponding image information parts, whereby the sensor unit is operable in the microwave, millimeter wave and/or Terahertz frequency range, and the processing and control unit is further adapted to construct an image of the target based on the image information parts and based on the generated camera image information.The multi aspect imaging system according to the present invention comprises one or more reflective elements and a sensor section operable in the microwave, millimeter wave and/or Terahertz frequency range. The sensor section is adapted to scan a first and a second aspect of a target, whereby the second aspect is scanned via a reflective element and the second aspect is scanned directly or via another reflective element.
