Abstract :
With a number of commercial systems becoming increasingly available, and improved generation and detection techniques T-ray systems are increasingly finding new applications. One of the main technical challenges is to make systems low cost, compact and easy to use. In this paper we suggest some novel solutions for parameter extraction, image enhancement, improved signal-to-noise ratio and classification schemes. These tools are useful in a number of biomedical and security applications.
