Passive Standoff Detection of RDX Residues on Metal Surfaces via Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging

Journal Article · · Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 395(2):337-348

Hyperspectral images of galvanized steel plates, each containing a stain of RDX, were recorded using a commercial longwave infrared imaging spectrometer. Demonstrations of passive RDX chemical detection at areal dosages between 16 and 90 µg / cm2 were carried out over practical stand-off ranges between 14 and 50 m. Efforts to develop better chemical anomaly and target detection through chemometric analyses are described.
