Two Dimensional Imaging

Exploring the idea that a two-dimensional image is much the same as a mathematical function of two variables, this study considers a variety of phenomena that are susceptible to mathematical reasoning. It examines the quantitative phenomena that have a wide application in either continuous or discrete situations and discusses specific images associated with techniques such as diffraction, tomography, inferometry and range-Doppler mapping. The book should be accessible to those with mathematical backgrounds but requires no previous experience with transform methods.
