    a. cademic Pu!licationsRefer to Chapter 8 1 Introduction.

    !. Patented technologies/he patents mentioned in the references deal mostly #ith the issue of subsurface

    structure imaging methodologies and systems.

    +atents 8* ' *6 *9 and 5 #hich basically deals #ith the same in ention underdifferent urisdictions* necessarily deal #ith generation of diffused infrared light forilluminating an ob ect and producing a ideo image of the ob ect based on reflected

    infrared light. 2hile the described mechanism can be used for the purpose of einimaging* it s primary utility is in that of thermal imaging and also that of short range

    ision in dar- ambience. /hough similar in principle to the de iceAmechanism that has been discussed and presented in this report* it has se eral important points that helps usdiscern bet#een the t#o.

    primary difference is in the mounting of LEDs on a cur ed pseudo sphericalsurface in the aforementioned patent literature. /his results in increased complication ofdesign and usage as space occupied also increases* especially #hen compared to thede ice in uestion* i?. >ormer is not #ell suited to be integrated in miniature hand heldde ices. It is hence obser ed that the proposed de ice has an higher portability and

    manoeu rability. /he number of LEDs used in constructing the de ice* in the abo ementioned patents are much higher and therefore needs larger e ternal po#er input to runde ice* #hich pre ents it to be integrated to hand held de ices containing minimal batteryoperated po#er source. !ore comple optical setup is re uired* using compleamalgamation of mirrors* lenses and multiple e ternal light source to optimise

    performance* ma-ing it more bul-y and not suitable as add1ons to hand held de ices.lso* such a setup #ould result in escalation of cost and diminished ease of use.

    >or patents $ and %* #e see a structure much comple in nature* #ith image processing algorithms introduced resulted in added re uirement of processing po#er.!as-ing* di ision* contrast enhancement and blue filter cause an un#anted increase in

    bul-. Mse of additional optical tools is an added problem.

    >or patent :* dedicated digiti?er image processor* and specific diagnostic and prognostic e pert system circuitry is re uired* #hich results in massi e increase incomple ity and cost. /hus its usefulness is limited to pathological laboratories* hospitalsand high cost setups. It lac-s the capability to record information in pictographic format*thus rendering inability of data reco ery and circulatory system mapping.
