Abstract: In the method disclosed, three or more infrared images of a body having concealed objects are acquired, each image resulting in a response of a detector having a spectral sensitivity in the infrared that is analogous to one of the spectral sensitivities of the color response of the human eye, and each image corresponding to a different spectral sensitivity. At least the center of the spectral sensitivity corresponding to the Green response at the human eye is selected to allow increasing the detected radiation difference between the concealed object and the body. The responses of the detector to each of the three or more images are utilized to provide RGB signals to a display device. The color image displayed in the display device allows identifying the concealed object.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting the presence of concealed objects that can be utilized at locations where conventional methods cannot be utilized are disclosed. One embodiment of the method of these teachings for detecting the presence of concealed objects uses thermal radiation of a body as a source of radiation. Other embodiments include portable and handheld systems, devices, methods, and apparatus to determine the presence of a concealed object.

Abstract: A system including an image acquisition subsystem receiving electromagnetic radiation from a body, a spectral decomposition subsystem separating the received electromagnetic radiation into at least a number of predetermined spectral components, each one component from the number of predetermined components corresponding to a response to a non-visible analogue to a visible spectrum representation of the predetermined spectral components, a wavelength of the received electromagnetic radiation being in a non-visible range, and an analysis subsystem receiving the at least the number of predetermined components, identifying at least one region in an image obtained from at least one the number of predetermined components and providing a color image, the color image obtained from the visible spectrum representation of the non-visible analogue; the at least one region of the color image enabling detection of a concealed object.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, in the infrared range, in practicing the method of these teachings, three infrared images of a body having concealed objects are acquired, each image resulting in a response of a detector having a spectral sensitivity in the infrared that is analogous to one of the spectral sensitivities of the color response of the human eye, each image corresponding to a different spectral sensitivity. At least the center of the spectral sensitivity corresponding to the Green response at the human eye is selected to allow increasing the detected radiation difference between the concealed object and the body. The responses of the detector to each of the three images are utilized to provide RGB signals to a display device (a monitor in one instance). The color image displayed in the display device allows identifying the concealed object.
