Description
- Provides a unified mathematical description of imaging systems.
- Develops a consistent mathematical formalism for characterizing imaging systems.
- Helps the reader develop an intuitive grasp of the most common mathematical methods, useful for describing the action of general linear systems on signals of one or more spatial dimensions.
- Offers parallel descriptions of continuous and discrete cases.
- Includes many graphical and pictorial examples to illustrate the concepts.
This book helps students develop an understanding of mathematical tools for describing general one- and two-dimensional linear imaging systems, and will also serve as a reference for engineers and scientists
About the Author
Professor Roger L. Easton, Jr
Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, Rochester Institute of Technology
Professor Easton teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in linear systems, optical imaging, and digital image processing at Rochester Institute of Technology. He received a B.S. degree in Astronomy from Haverford College, an M.S. in physics from the University of Maryland, and an M.S. and Ph.D. degree in Optical Sciences from the University of Arizona.
His research interests include the application of digital image processing to text documents and manuscripts. He has contributed to work on the Dead Sea Scrolls and is now part of an imaging team helping scolars to read the original Archimiedes Palimpsest. Professor Easton also conducts research into optical signal processing and computer-generated holography, publishing articles on both.
Reviews
"Overall, this is an excellent text, appropriate for the graduate student approaching this material for the first time, and for the seasoned professional looking for an up-to-date reference." (Journal of Electronic Imaging, 1 April 2011)
"This comprehensive textbook represents a practical review of Fourier techniques in imaging methods. It will be very useful for graduate students (in engineering, science, computer science, and applied mathematics) as well as engineers interested in linear imaging systems." (Zentralblatt Math, 2010)
