Improvement of terahertz imaging with a dynamic subtraction technique.

چکیده
By use of dynamic subtraction it is feasible to adopt phase-sensitive detection with a CCD camera to reduce long-term optical background drift. We report on a two-order improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio. The improved system is used to image terahertz field distribution generated by an optically rectified electro-optic crystal with a modulation depth as small as 10(-4). We also introduce a modified detection geometry that realizes near-field imaging capability with greatly improved spatial resolution.

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER
In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...
متن کاملScatter correction improvement based on the Convolution Subtraction Technique in SPECT imaging
SPECT is a tomography technique that can greatly show information about the metabolic activity in the body and improve the clinical diagnosis. In this paper, a convolution subtraction technique is proposed for scatter compensation in SPECT imaging. In simulation with Gate, 128 projections were simulated evenly spaced over 360° by a circular orbit, each with 128 bins. Simulation results show tha...
متن کاملSemiconductor Dynamic Aperture for Near-Field Terahertz Wave Imaging
We describe and discuss near-field terahertz wave imaging with a dynamic aperture created on a semiconductor wafer. The spatial resolution of a near-field terahertz wave imaging system with a dynamic aperture created on a GaAs wafer is determined by the diameter of the gating-beam-induced thin photocarrier layer. With a dynamic aperture created on a GaAs wafer, we have achieved a subwavelength ...

متن کاملHuman Detection for Night Surveillance using Adaptive Background Subtracted Image
Surveillance based on Computer Vision has become a major necessity in current era. Most of the surveillance systems operate on visible light imaging, but performance based on visible light imaging is limited due to some factors like variation in light intensity during the daytime. The matter of concern lies in the need for processing images in low light, such as in the need of nighttime surveil...
