  • Method and system for aligning a terahertz sensor system
    Patent number: 10323931
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a method for aligning a radiation head of a terahertz sensor system with a target surface. The method includes: scanning a selected area of the target surface with a terahertz radiation beam emitted by the radiation head; sensing a peak amplitude for each reflected radiation signal from a plurality of reflected radiation signals received by the radiation head during the scanning of the selected area; and identifying a normal position of the radiation head with respect to the target surface based on a maximum peak amplitude from among the peak amplitudes of the reflected radiation signals.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: Ford Motor Company
    Inventors: Scott Adams, Marina Baker, Mark Nichols, Tony Misovski
