  • Patent number: 10585203
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) imaging device comprises a position sensor, an optical sensor, a processor, and an output. The position sensor determines a position of the RF imaging device relative to a surface. The optical sensor captures optical image data representing an optical image of an area of the surface. The optical image data is associated with position data representing a position relative to the surface derived from the determined position of the RF imaging device. The derived position data corresponds to the area of the surface imaged by the optical sensor. The processor produces a composite image in which one or more portions of the optical image data are simultaneously viewable with RF image data representing an RF image of a space behind the surface at the same position as the optical image data. The output displays the composite image. The output may be a projector.

  • Publication number: 20160080666
    Abstract: Test and measurement systems can include a test and measurement tool configured to generate measurement data representative of at least one parameter of an object under test and an imaging tool configured to generate image data representative of a target scene. The imaging tool can be removably attachable to the test and measurement tool. The test and measurement system can include a communication link that can provide communication between the test and measurement tool and the imaging tool. The communication link can facilitate one or both of communication of image data to the test and measurement tool and measurement data to the imaging tool. Systems can include a display in communication with at least one of the test and measurement tool or the imaging tool for presenting at least one of image data or measurement data to a user.
