Systems and methods for concealed object detection

A method for detecting concealed objects, the method comprising the steps of:

• separating, utilizing a spectral decomposition device, electromagnetic radiation received from a body into a number of predetermined spectral components, each one component from said number of predetermined components corresponding to a response to a non-visible analogue to a visible spectrum representation of said number of predetermined spectral components;
• a wavelength of said received electromagnetic radiation being in a non-visible range;
• acquiring, utilizing an image acquisition device, at least one image from the separated electromagnetic radiation;
• identifying, utilizing an analysis subsystem, at least one region in the at least one image;
• and
• obtaining a color image from a visible equivalent of the non-visible analogue to human vision spectral response;
• the color image obtained from a visible equivalent of the non-visible analogue;
• the at least one region of the color image enabling detection of a concealed object.
