In the paper, a novel method is proposed for application of vehicle security by infrared camera and coating technology. In this Vehicle Security System (VSS), the traditional mirror is coated on the surface with special material by multi-layers, then, an infrared camera is placed behind the mirror on the bottom of device. In order to obtain the image, a wireless communication is integrated on this system. Therefore, the user can easily inspect the object under the vehicle. By using this infrared photography, it provides completely imaging for the total dark condition, to examine the under-vehicle area of an object or explosives. Experiments show that the proposed device reflected 80% of visible light and penetrated 20% of incident light, about 96% infrared light pass through the mirror.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
