Manipulation of 3-D RF imagery and on-wall marking of detected structure
First Claim
1. A radio frequency (RF) imaging device, comprising:
- a display configured to;
receive a first data portion representing a first three-dimensional (3D) image that is a weighted combination of a plurality of images including a 3D RF image of a space disposed behind a surface, an infrared (IR) image of the surface and a visible light image of the surface, wherein the plurality of images are combined in accordance with a plurality of first weights respectively corresponding to the plurality of images, wherein a first weight of the plurality of first weights defines a contribution of a respective image of the plurality of images to the first 3D image;
display the first 3D image; and
display a user interface indicating the plurality of first weights;
an input control device configured to receive a user input for specifying one or more changes to the plurality of first weights and output data representing the user input; and
a processor operatively coupled to the display and the input control device and configured to;
receive the data representing the user input;
change at least one first weight of the plurality of first weights in accordance with the one or more changes to produce a plurality of second weights;
generate a second 3D image by combining the plurality of images in accordance with the plurality of second weights; and
output data representing the second 3D image for display.

Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) imaging device comprising a display receives a three-dimensional (3D) image that is a superposition of two or more images having different image types including at least a 3D RF image of a space disposed behind a surface. A plurality of input control devices receive a user input for manipulating the display of the 3D image. Alternatively or additionally, the radio frequency (RF) imaging device may receive a three-dimensional (3D) image that is a weighted combination of a plurality of images including a 3D RF image of a space disposed behind a surface, an infrared (IR) image of the surface, and a visible light image of the surface. A user input may specify changes to the weighted combination. In another embodiment, the RF imaging device may include an output device that produces a physical output indicating a detected type of material of an object in the space.
