| Abstract | Passive 3D sensing and reconstruction is an important area in computer vision, robotics, surveillance, reconnaissance and automatic target recognition fields. In the past methods such as stereo, shape from shading, and reflectance (visible band) polarization have been tried. Some of more obvious advantages of passive 3D sensing and reconstruction are its reliance on relatively low-cost sensors its non-intrusive properties. This paper summarizes methods for extracting 3D information and index of refraction of the emitting surfaces in scene by means of a pair of polarimetric passive infrared imaging sensors. These sensors operate mainly in the thermal region of electromagnetic spectrum. Each sensor provides the Stokes vector at each sensor pixel location, from which, degree and angle of linear polarization are computed. Angle of linear polarization provides the azimuth angle of the surface normal vector at each pixel location. The depression angle of this surface normal, however, depends on the degree of linear polarization and index of refraction of the viewed surface. We present two methods to estimate the depression angles of the surface normals in a scene without relying on the a priori knowledge of indices of refraction. In one case a set of distributed sensors are used. These two are placed in geographically distinct positions but are otherwise identical. In the $2^{nd}$ case the two sensors are co-located but have different spectral bands. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
