Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the security-inspection technology, and in particular relate to a monitoring method, a monitoring system and a control device for a human-body security-inspection device.


BACKGROUND

The millimeter wave is a wave with a frequency in a range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz (which has a wavelength in a range from 1 mm to 10 mm). In the practical engineering application, the low frequency of the millimeter wave is generally reduced to 26 GHz. In the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency of the millimeter wave is between the frequency of the infrared and the frequency of the microwave. In comparison with the infrared, the millimeter wave has the capability of working in all weathers and can be used in the severe environment, such as smoke dust, cloud and mist, etc. In comparison with the microwave, the millimeter wave has the typical advantages of shorter wavelength, wider bandwidth (able to be used widely), and the property of propagating in the atmosphere. In detail, the millimeter wave mainly has the following characteristics: I. the millimeter wave is with high precision, the millimeter-wave radar is easier to obtain a narrow beam and a large absolute bandwidth, and the millimeter-wave radar system is more resistant to the electronic interference; 2. in the Doppler radar, the millimeter wave has a high Doppler frequency resolution: 3. in the millimeter-wave imaging system, the millimeter wave is sensitive to the shape and the structure of the target object, and has an excellent capability to distinguish metal objects from the background environment, and can achieve images with high resolutions so as to improve the capability of recognizing and detecting the target object; 4. the millimeter wave can penetrate the plasma; 5. in comparison with the infrared laser, the millimeter wave is less affected by the severe natural environments: 6. the millimeter-wave system is small in size and light in weight, and the millimeter-wave circuit is much smaller in size in comparison with the microwave circuit, thereby the millimeter-wave system is easier to be integrated. These unique characteristics make the millimeter wave able to be used widely in various application fields, especially in the non-destructive testing field and the security-inspection field.


The millimeter-wave imaging technology is mainly divided into the active millimeter-wave imaging technology and the passive millimeter-wave imaging technology. The passive millimeter-wave imaging system is advantageous in simple structure and low cost, but is disadvantageous in long imaging time and poor imaging resolution. With the improvement of the millimeter-wave component and the development of the millimeter-wave component technology, the active millimeter-wave imaging technology has begun to attract more and more attentions. The active millimeter-wave imaging technology mainly adopts the active synthetic-aperture imaging technology or the active holographic-imaging technology. The millimeter-wave holographic imaging method is a method derived from the optical holography method. The millimeter-wave holographic imaging method is based on the electromagnetic-wave coherence principle, in which a transmitter emits a highly-stable millimeter-wave signal firstly, then a receiver receives an echo signal reflected by a corresponding one of points of the target object, and performs a coherent process for the echo signal with a highly-coherent reference signal, to extract information of amplitude and phase of the echo signal, such that to obtain the emission characteristic at the target point, and eventually a millimeter-wave image of the target object in the scene may be obtained via a data and image processing method. The millimeter-wave image obtained by the active millimeter-wave holographic-imaging technology has good resolution, and the millimeter-wave holographic-imaging technology may cooperate with the mechanical scanning technology, to greatly shorten the imaging time thereof, and be executed by practice of engineering, thus the millimeter-wave holographic-imaging technology is very suitable for the active millimeter-wave short-range imaging technology.


The current three-dimensional holographic imaging technology on the international are mostly adopting the active millimeter-wave cylindrical array rotary-scanning technology, that is, it adopts millimeter-wave transmitting/receiving antenna modules, which are arranged in an array, to obtain the body scanning information. However, it has too many circuits, such as the receive/transmit antenna modules and the related circuits, and even more than 60 circuit boards. When controlling the human-body security-inspection device, after an upper computer transmits a control signal, it is hard to monitor whether or not each module receives a corresponding control signal or wherein or not each functional module is normal, and can not constantly monitor the working status of each circuit module. Once the human-body security-inspection device breaks down, it needs a very complicated work to repair and test the device, thus it is very inconvenient to maintain, repair and debug the human-body security-inspection device.
