Fourier Optics in Image Processing

By Neil Collings

Book Overview

This much-needed text brings the treatment of optical pattern recognition up-to-date in one comprehensive resource. Optical pattern recognition, one of the first implementations of Fourier Optics, is now widely used, and this text provides an accessible introduction for readers who wish to get to grips with how holography is applied in a practical context. A wide range of devices are addressed from a user perspective and are accompanied with detailed tables enabling performance comparison, in addition to chapters exploring computer-generated holograms, optical correlator systems, and pattern matching algorithms. This book will appeal to both lecturers and research scientists in the field of electro-optic devices and systems.

Features:

Covers a range of new developments, including computer-generated holography and 3D image recognition

Accessible without a range of prior knowledge, providing a clear exposition of technically difficult concepts

Contains extensive examples throughout to reinforce learning
