Abstract

This paper describes the further development of a scene simulation model by the introduction of multiple reflections and subjects with backgrounds. Inclusion of these features enables more realistic imagery to be created, reproducing known phenomenology in passive millimetre wave imagery, such as specular reflections of objects in concrete or tarmac surfaces and the appearances of darker cavity areas in security scanning images. Examples of these are shown at 94 GHz together with other more general images of subjects and their backgrounds.
