Abstract.Crossbody Bag Zoe Birch Sherpani RFID Birch AqwWO Millimetre-wave (mmW) imaging is an emerging technique for non-destructive testing. Since many polymers are transparent in this frequency range, mmW imaging is an attractive means in the testing of polymer devices, and images of relatively high resolution are possible. This contribution presents an algorithm for the precise imaging of arbitrarily shaped dielectric objects. The reconstruction algorithm is capable of automatically detecting the object's contour, followed by a material-sensitive reconstruction of the object's interior. As an example we examined a polyethylene device with simulated material defects, which could be depicted precisely.
