Abstract :
The development of prospective supervision systems for applications in security and customs services is discussed. An experimental W-band multibeam scanning radiometric system for people visualization is developed. A set of primary generated images been obtained. These images were obtained in closed room conditions Various materials (metal, powder, ceramic, leather) were tested as outside accessories located on the body. under light clothes. First results permit to tell about prospective use of installations designed on the proposed principles of radiometric image generation for the variety of applications destined for people operative supervision and customs examination: at customs stations and people checking points in airports, railway stations, banks, enterprises, public and sport activities etc.
