... eo imaging need radical version to the swift changes in our society, economy, environment, and technological revolution; there is an utmost need to address and propose dynamic and innovative solutions to problems which tend to be either complex or static or rapidly evolving with a large number of unknowns. Furthermore, the battle against the severe disease such as cancer, tuberculosis, high blood pressure and ECG, fight against the terror, exploration and management of the natural resources in remote area using remote sensing, underground and tunnel inspection, other and environmental monitoring are some of the areas that need to be addressed with urgency. In addition, the complication of involved imaging scenarios, and demanding design parameters, i.e., signal to noise ratio, high speed specification, high contrast and spatial resolution, complex background, harsh environment, requires the growth of multifunctional, scalable imaging suit of sensors, solutions driven by novelty, operating on diverse detection and imaging principles. Moreover, artificial neural network when combined with pattern recognition techniques, such
