Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a pulsed THz beam includes emitting, by THz emitter, pulsed THz radiation of outgoing pulse shape for interacting with target body; detecting, by THz detector, incoming THz radiation comprising THz pulses, and outputting, by THz detector, a raw detector data of pulse shapes of incoming THz pulses; and determining, by pulse shape reconstruction module, a reconstructed incoming pulse shape based on the raw detector data, measuring, by sensor, a time-of-flight quantity (d) affecting the time of flight of the THz radiation; and adjusting operation of at least one of THz emitter, THz detector and pulse shape reconstruction module using the time-of-flight quantity (d), for correcting for variations in time of flight of the THz radiation.

Abstract: A sensor system and method for measuring a parameter of a paint layer provided on a surface of an object includes a robot arm and a measuring device mounted to the robot arm. The measuring device includes a radiation emitter and a radiation receiver, a sensor arrangement and a control unit. The sensor system and method carries out a measurement of a parameter of the paint layer at a predefined measuring location by accounting for positioning data and measurement data sot that, prior to a measurement, a distance between the measuring device and the surface of the object is adjusted to be in a predefined distance range, and a vector of the measuring direction of the measuring device is adjusted to be normal with respect to the surface of the object within an angular tolerance range from −5° to 5°.
