This course introduces the mathematical formalism for describing imaging systems, with emphasis on systems whose response has been constrained to be linear in dynamic range and which also does not depend on spatial location in the scene. In other words, the course develops mathematical models of imaging systems and applies them to problems relevant to imaging.

Software Resources
A software program written in Java by former undergraduate student Juliet Bernstein for illustrating the concepts in this course is available for the three most common personal computer platforms (Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux). The program is free and the both source and compiled code are available at:
The site also has links to YouTube videos that illustrate the use and features of the program.
The DOS program from which this was developed is also available as a zipped file from the CIS FTP site:Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
(for generating waveforms and recording/editing
sound files, includes FFT analysis
