Method for Passive Millimeter Wave Image Polarization Information Display

The millimeter wave (mmW) radiation polarization characteristics of object are of great significance for object detection and recognition in passive mmW imaging. The aim of this paper is to present a passive mmW image polarization information display method through color. The polarized passive mmW images are segmented into several classes with multiple thresholds and are then mapped to the color space to generate a color image. Compared with the conventional algorithm, the presented method can provide more detailed information.
