Abstract :
In this paper, we present the main aspects of a novel method of inverse problem resolving based on the framework of Feynman´s path integral evaluation for foreign object recognizing in clutter conditions. Results of the proposed theoretical approach are verified with the corresponding experiments carried out for infra-red (IR) imaging a small plastic tablet hidden inside various clothes near the human body. A good agreement between the experimentally obtained and theoretically predicted data is shown in this work.
