Research and Markets has released a new book titled, ‘Fourier Methods in Imaging’. The John Wiley and Sons’ book discusses the mathematical tools used to model the linear imaging systems to solve the input or to predict the system’s action.
The book categorizes the chapters into five sections. The first chapter introduces the imaging tasks such as system, inverse and direct analysis; linear algebra concepts for functions and vectors such as inner products of functions and vectors and complex-valued products.
The second chapter discusses the mathematical transformations, operations, and special functions for describing the linear imaging systems. The section also defines the Radon and Hankel transforms, the Fourier transforms of 2-D and 1-D functions and the Fourier transform approximations.
The third and fourth chapter analyzes the Fourier transform and the portrayal of imaging equipment as linear filters, including the Wiener-Helstrom, Wiener, matched and inverse filters. The last chapter analyzes the applications of the linear imaging systems in holography and optical imaging systems.
The ‘Fourier Methods in Imaging’ book serves as a reference book for students, scientists and engineers alike.
