Abstract

With the widespread use of Internet-of-Things devices, such as manufacturing machines in factories and social robots, the development of inspection techniques has been in high demand to ensure the reliability and safety of these devices. Imaging technologies based on terahertz (THz) waves are promising for the use in non-destructive inspections. This talk will present our development of a flexible and wearable THz camera, which has led to multi-view THz visualization and inspection without using bulky systems. Several examples of its industrial and medical applications will be shown.

随着物联网设备的广泛使用，如工厂制造机器、社会机器人等，对检测技术的发展提出了很高的要求，以确保这些设备的可靠性和安全性，因此基于太赫兹(THz)波的成像技术在无损检测中具有广阔的应用前景。本次演讲将介绍新开发的一种灵活的可穿戴太赫兹相机，它可以实现多视点太赫兹可视化和检测，而无需使用笨重的系统,并将展示其工业和医疗应用的几个例子。
