The apparatus is sufficiently compact to be installable within a cellular telephone or personal digital assistant. Opto-mechanical arrangements are provided for capturing these different fields of view from different directions. Methods and apparatus are provided for efficient projection of image templates using diffractive optical elements. Methods and apparatus are provided for using diffractive optical elements to provide efficient scanning methods, in one or two dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2004Publication date: December 4, 2008Inventors: Klony Lieberman, Yuval Sharon, Yachin Yarchi
