Super-Resolution Restoration of Low-Resolution THz Camera Images

Abstract

For the purpose of a high-precision object recognition (OR) system at THz frequencies, a 140 GHz super-resolution imaging system is presented in this paper. Conventional THz camera imaging systems are limited by their pixel numbers resulting in distorted and noisy low-resolution (LR) images hindering the possibility of correct object recognition. In this paper methods for improving the resolution of a 140 GHz camera are proposed based on super-resolution (SR) reconstruction methods typically used for low-cost optical components. The experimental validations are performed with a geometrically complex target.
