| Abstract | This paper discusses the conflict between the mutually exclusive drivers of improved performance and lower cost which have had to be managed during the development and commercial exploitation of passive imaging technology operating in the 250GHz atmospheric water window. Now that the product line has been established, ongoing development continues to focus on providing more pixel elements, faster frame rate, better sensitivity. The continuous drive for improved performance invariably increases system complexity conflicting with the requirement for cost reduction. A work around has been achieved by optimising the time spent per pixel viewing the critical areas in the scene. By taking this approach it has been possible to maximize thermal sensitivity and at the same time improve parameters such as frame update rate which is an important driver for screening moving people. The requirement for a staring focal plane array has effectively been negated. This has been achieved by adopting an adaptive scanning architecture driven by external algorithms that take their input from external sensors with higher spatial and temporal resolution. The 250GHz water window has been shown to offer improved detection over lower frequencies, particularly in realistic outdoor environments. The shorter wavelength also provides increased resolution and/or range for a given system volume. This is an important consideration for mobile solutions that can be rapidly deployed. A robust product platform operating at 250GHz is now firmly established and recent attention has therefore shifted to developments that will enable the next generation of products. The heterodyne detector technology used in the Digital Barriers: ThruVision platform is readily adapted for other frequencies and so internal development activities have been directed at gaining an understanding of what other bands might offer. This has shown that a multi-frequency approach may offer improved capability. An overview of these developments will be given. |

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.
