Abstract:
1. A method for a remote target inspection in a monitored space, comprising: scanning the target with microwave radiation using at least two microwave emitters; collecting radiation reflected back from the monitored area using one or more detectors located to pick up the radiation in parallel channels; performing coherent processing to obtain maximum intensity values of a target image; constructing a three-dimensional microwave image; illuminating the target with optical radiation and recording at least video images of the target using at least two video cameras; synchronizing the video images with the microwave image; digitizing the video images and creating a three-dimensional image of the target; combining the three-dimensional video image and three-dimensional microwave image in one coordinate system; determining a distance l between the microwave image and the video image; if l is less than a threshold value l if l is larger than the threshold value l
