Contemporary Optical Image Processing With Matlab

"A revised version of the authors' earlier book Principles of Applied Optics, Contemporary Optical Image Processing using MATLAB is primarily geared towards a senior/graduate level audience and discusses optical propagation through linear, homogeneous, nonlinear and inhomogeneous media. The book brings out the systems aspect of optics, and includes ray optics, Fourier Optics, Gaussian beam propagation, the split-step beam propagation method, holography and complex spatial filtering, ray theory of holograms, optical scanning holography, acoustooptic image processing, edge enhancement and correlation using photorefractive materials, holographic phase distortion correction, to name a few. MATLAB examples are given throughout the text. MATLAB is emphasized since it is now a widely accepted software tool very routinely used in signal processing. Instructive problems and MATLAB assignments are included at the end of each Chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
