THREE-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE/CONTOUR PROCESSING BASED ON ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION INTERROGATION

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention includes scanning a target withelectromagnetic radiation including one or more frequencies in a range ofabout 200 MHz to about 1 THz; establishing a point cloud representation of thesurface of the target from the scan; and performing one or more curve-fittingoperations as a function of at least a portion of the points of the pointcloud representation to represent at least a portion of the surface of thetarget.
