Abstract :
We demonstrate the improvement of the both quality of the image captured by TS4 - the commercially available THz passive camera manufactured by ThruVision Systems Ltd. - and instrumental resolution of this camera. The measurements range of this device reaches 10 meters. Our approach bases on application of novel spatial filters and algorithms, developed by us for computer processing of passive THz images produced by the camera.
