Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a terahertz imaging system in the prior art. The terahertz imaging system 100 in the prior art specifically includes a conveyor belt 11, a terahertz source 12, and a terahertz camera 13. Wherein, the central connecting line of the terahertz source 12 and the terahertz camera 13 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 11.
Specifically, the terahertz source 12 is used for generating a terahertz signal, and the terahertz camera 13 is used for receiving the terahertz signal transmitted through the object to be measured on the conveyor belt 11, generating terahertz imaging based on the received terahertz signal, and realizing terahertz security inspection.
Because the terahertz imaging system 100 in the prior art is composed of a fixed terahertz source 12 and a terahertz camera 13, only imaging at a single angle exists, and because the imaging angle is single, imaging errors and unclear recognition are easily caused, and the detection accuracy is low.
In order to solve the problem that most terahertz imaging systems only have a single imaging angle at present, the application provides a multi-angle terahertz imaging system, and please refer to fig. 2 specifically, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the multi-angle terahertz imaging system provided by the application.
The terahertz imaging system 200 of the present embodiment specifically includes a conveyor belt 21 for conveying an object to be measured; at least one terahertz source 22 arranged above the conveyor belt 21 and used for emitting terahertz signals of multiple angles to the object to be measured on the conveyor belt 21; the terahertz camera 23 is arranged below the conveyor belt 21 and is used for receiving the multi-angle terahertz signal passing through the object to be detected on the conveyor belt 21.
As shown in fig. 2, the terahertz imaging system 200 of the present embodiment includes at least three terahertz sources 22. The three terahertz sources 22 are equidistantly arranged above the conveyor belt 21, and sequentially emit terahertz signals at different angles to the object to be detected based on the movement speed of the conveyor belt 21. The three terahertz sources 22 can be arranged above the conveyor belt 21 according to an arc shape, the center of the arc is located below the conveyor belt 21, and specifically, the center of the terahertz camera 23 can be located, so that the terahertz camera 23 can well receive terahertz signals emitted by the three terahertz sources 22 at different angles.
Further, the terahertz imaging system 200 of the present embodiment further includes a plurality of sensors 24, and the plurality of sensors 24 are disposed inside the conveyor belt 21 and proximate to a side of the conveyor belt 21 close to the terahertz source 22.
During the detection process, the object to be detected moves on the conveyor belt 21, when the object to be detected passes through the signal coverage area of the sensor 24, the sensor 24 generates a current signal and sends the current signal to a control system (not shown in the figure) of the terahertz source 22, so that the control system controls the working state of the terahertz source 22 based on the current signal.
The sensor 24 provided in this embodiment may be a photoelectric sensor, or may be another type of sensor, which is not described herein again.
Further, the terahertz camera 23 provided by the present application is specifically any one of a terahertz line-array camera and a terahertz area-array camera.
When the terahertz camera 23 is a terahertz line-scan terahertz camera, the initial state of the terahertz source 22 is an off state, each terahertz source 22 corresponds to each sensor 24 one by one, the sensor 24 controls the switch of the corresponding terahertz source 22, and the position of the sensor 24 is arranged on the light path from the terahertz source 22 to the terahertz camera 23 controlled by the sensor 24. When an object to be measured passes through the sensor 24, the sensor 24 detects a signal and gives a control signal to the time sequence circuit, the time sequence signal turns on the controlled terahertz source, at the moment, imaging at an angle can be carried out, and after an image is acquired, the terahertz source 22 is immediately turned off. When the next sensor 24 is passed, the above steps are repeated, and multi-angle collection can be completed.
When the terahertz camera 23 is a terahertz area-array camera, the terahertz sources 22 and the sensors 24 are also in one-to-one correspondence. When the object to be detected reaches the sensor 24, the terahertz source 22 controlled by the sequential circuit is turned on by the sequential circuit, and the terahertz source 22 is turned off immediately after the area-array camera collects a frame of image, so that multi-angle collection can be realized.

As shown in fig. 3, the terahertz imaging system 300 of the present embodiment further includes an arc-shaped track 35, and the terahertz source 32 is specifically a movable terahertz source 32. The movable terahertz source 32 of the present embodiment is disposed on the arc-shaped track 35, and moves back and forth on the arc-shaped track 35 based on the movement speed of the conveyor belt 31, so as to emit terahertz signals at different angles to the object to be measured.
The center of the arc-shaped track 35 is located below the conveyor belt 31, and particularly can be located at the center of the terahertz camera 33, so that the terahertz camera 33 can well receive terahertz signals emitted by the movable terahertz source 32 at different angles.
