[構成の説明]
図8は、第1の実施形態のレーダ装置の構成例を示すブロック図である。第1の実施形態のレーダ装置100は、レーダ信号送受信部103と、投影方向・イメージングポリシー制御部107と、イメージング部104と、投影処理部106とを備えている。レーダ信号送受信部103は、送信アンテナ(Tx)101と受信アンテナ(Rx)102を備えている。
投影処理部106は、投影方向・イメージングポリシー制御部107に設定された投影方向の数だけ分かれて存在し、それぞれが各投影方向を担当する。投影処理部106のそれぞれは、同じ投影方向を担当するイメージング部104から三次元のレーダ画像を受け取り、設定された投影方向に従って投影処理を行って二次元化する。以下の説明において、投影方向がZ軸になるように直交座標系XYZをとり、その際のレーダ画像をI(X,Y,Z)と表記することにする。投影処理は、例えば、非特許文献1のように式(1)に従って二次元画像I'(X,Y)に変換する。他の投影方法として式(2)のようにする方法も考えられる。
次に、図14のフローチャートを参照して、レーダ装置100の動作を説明する。
図19は、レーダ装置100のハードウエア構成例を示す図である。レーダ装置100は、バス1010、プロセッサ1020、メモリ1030、ストレージデバイス1040、入出力インタフェース1050、及びネットワークインタフェース1060を有する。
本実施形態によれば、レーダ装置100は、それぞれの投影方向に対して、その方向の面がよく映るようにイメージング領域とイメージングに使用するTxとRxの組の集合を使い分けることにより、他の面、特に裏側の面の情報がレーダ画像に映らないようにできる。このため、レーダ装置100は、各投影方向から人体を眺めた画像を精度よく作成できる。それにより、対象物が所持している所持品(例えば不審物)の検出精度などが向上する。
[構成の説明]
図15は、第2の実施形態のレーダ装置の構成例を示すブロック図である。第2の実施形態のレーダ装置200は、レーダ信号送受信部103と、投影方向・イメージングポリシー制御部207と、複数のイメージング部204と、複数の投影処理部106とを備えている。レーダ信号送受信部103は、送信アンテナ(Tx)101と受信アンテナ(Rx)102を備えている。
次に、図16のフローチャートを参照して、レーダ装置200の動作を説明する。
ステップS101及びS102の処理は、第1の実施形態と同じである。ステップS103の処理は、第1の実施形態と同じである。ただし、レーダ信号は投影方向・イメージングポリシー制御部207にも出力される。
本実施形態によれば、被験者のいない領域におけるイメージング処理を省くことにより、所持品の検出精度を第1の実施形態と同程度に保ったまま、計算コストを軽量化できる。
[構成の説明]
図17は、第3の実施形態のレーダ装置の構成例を示すブロック図である。第3の実施形態のレーダ装置300は、レーダ信号送受信部103と、投影方向・イメージングポリシー制御部307と、複数のイメージング部204と、複数の投影処理部106と、外部センサ308とを備えている。レーダ信号送受信部103は、送信アンテナ(Tx)101と受信アンテナ(Rx)102を備えている。
次に、図18のフローチャートを参照して、レーダ装置300の動作を説明する。
第2の実施形態と同様に、被験者のいない領域におけるイメージング処理を省くことにより、検査などの精度を第1の実施形態と同程度に保ったまま、計算処理を軽量化できる。また、被験者の存在判定に用いるセンサによっては、第2の実施形態で述べたようなレーダ信号を用いて存在判定を行う方法と比較して、計算コストがより軽くなる、または判定精度が良くなるといった改善が期待できる。
