OPTICAL IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY

Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy develops a systems analysis approach to optical sensor design, including revolutionary approaches to sampling and optical processing. Geometric, wave and statistical models of image fields are developed and powerful statistical methods for imaging system analysis are described. Compressive and generalized sampling and image inference algorithms are considered along with numerous examples of spectrograph and imager design strategies. Analytic strategies for analyzing the limits imager depth of field, resolution and field of view are presented. The text targets biological, chemical and physical scientists interested in understanding the limits of sensor science as well as optical and electrical engineers and physicists interested in pursuing advanced computational imager design.
