Active subject imaging with body identification
A method of surveilling a subject including a person's body may include or an imaging system may provide interrogating the subject with electromagnetic radiation, and generating, from the interrogating, image data representative of at least a first image of at least a portion of the person's body. In some examples, a first portion of the body may be identified, and a first feature of the image may be determined based at least partially on the identified portion of the body. In some examples, the orientation of the person's body may be determined from one or more features of one or more image portions. In some examples, a portion of the image of the person's body may be replaced with a substitute image portion.
1. A method of surveilling a subject including a person's body comprising:
interrogating the subject with electromagnetic radiation in a frequency range of about 100 MHz to about 2 THz;
generating, from the interrogating, image data representative of at least a first image of at least a portion of the person's body:
identifying from the image data at least the center of the top of the head;
determining from the image data at least a first feature of the image based at least partially on the identified center of the top of the head, including determining the location of the lower end of the trunk based at least in part on the identified center of the top of the head; and
replacing at least a portion of the image of the lower end of the trunk with a substitute image portion displaced from a vertical line passing through the center of the top of the head.
