This introductory, yet in-depth, book explains the physical principles of electronic imaging and sensing and provides the reader with the information necessary to understand the design, operation, and practical applications of contemporary electronic imaging and sensing systems. The text has strong practical focus and contains examples of biomedical applications of optical electronic imaging and sensing. Each chapter draws upon the authors’ extensive research, teaching, and industrial experience and provides a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a convenient reference for scientists and engineers working in the field of electronic imaging and sensing.
Electronic imaging and sensing systems are used for medical diagnosis. In recent years, for example, dental offices have been switching to digital X-ray imaging systems. Another growing application area is the use of digital infrared imaging systems for home inspections which can spot invisible water damage. Of course, electronic imaging and sen
