Terahertz Detection Device Combining Concentration and Background Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current terahertz wave detection methods fail to effectively display analysis results due to the longer wavelength of terahertz waves compared to visible light, resulting in lower image resolution.
Innovation Solution
The development of terahertz wave detection equipment comprising a transceiver, a display, and an information processing apparatus that analyzes and visualizes the concentration of objects by combining a concentration image with a background image, using a terahertz wave transceiver to irradiate a two-dimensional area and process the reflected waves to generate a composite image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If terahertz wave is used for analysis, then the ability to detect objects through aerosols is improved, but the image resolution deteriorates due to longer wavelength
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines terahertz wave concentration images with visible light background images to create a composite image. The terahertz wave provides reliable detection through aerosols while the visible light image compensates for the lower resolution, merging the advantages of both imaging modalities into a single comprehensive visualization.
2Measurement precision
If terahertz wave analysis is performed, then the capability to analyze VCO gas is improved, but the visualization clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visible light background images as an intermediary to enhance the visualization of terahertz wave analysis results. The high-resolution visible light image serves as a mediator that provides contextual clarity and spatial reference, making the terahertz concentration data more interpretable and visually clear.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If only terahertz wave imaging is used, then the penetration through aerosols is improved, but the overall image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite image that integrates data from two different imaging modalities: terahertz wave imaging and visible light imaging. This composite approach combines the aerosol-penetration capability of terahertz waves with the high image quality of visible light, producing a result that exceeds the capabilities of either modality alone.
