Abstract

Active millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging is of interest because it has played an important role in the area of personnel surveillance over the past decades. Through reconstructing reflectivity, potential threats can be recognized based on shape. Besides reflectivity, diverse physical characteristics should be explored so that supplementary information can be used to assist recognition. This paper presents a surface-roughness measurement method using holographic data that has already been acquired during security checks. Based on scalar diffraction theory and speckle metrology, a simple mathematical relation between the correlation of holographic fields and surface roughness has been derived. Consequently, another kind of information, that is, the surface-roughness estimate, can be used to help differentiate similarly shaped articles. Results of simulations and laboratory experiments have shown its validation and potential in application to MMW imaging systems.
