SIMG-215-02-20061: IMAGING SCIENCE FUNDAMENTALS

An exploration of the fundamentals of imaging science and the imaging systems of the past, present and future. Imaging systems studied include the human visual system, consumer and entertainment applications (e.g., traditional and digital photography, television, digital television and HDTV, virtual reality); medical applications (e.g., X-ray, ultrasound, MRI); business/document applications (e.g., impact and non-impact printing, scanners, printers, fax machines, copiers) and systems used in remote sensing and astronomy (e.g., night-vision systems, ground- and satellite-based observatories). The laboratory component includes experiments related to the principles and theories discussed in the corresponding lecture. Laboratory experiments give students experience with many imaging systems and exposure to the underlying scientific principles. (Competency in algebra) Class 3, Lab 2, Credit 4 (F, W)
