| Program Detail |
: This course, the first in a two-quarter sequence, provides the student with a basic understanding of the scientific principles associated with electromagnetic radiation propagation, image capture and forma- tion, and image processing used to reproduce or display images. The first part of the course focuses on the image capture phase of the imaging chain. The fundamentals of the interaction between light and matter are covered. These concepts are then used to understand the operation and limitation of detectors, including charge-coupled de- vices and conventional film. The latter part of the course focuses on the image display stage of the image chain. Both mean level and spa- tial properties are discussed. The final part of the course ties toge- ther the basic principles covered and uses these to understand system design optimization.
