Electro-Optical Imaging: System Performance and Modeling, Parts 1 & 2 (SPIE Press Monograph Vol. PM96/SC,Parts 1 and 2)

Please note that this book is a two part set. This significant compendium of technical literature traces the development of low-light-level and infrared imaging technologies and system modeling and performance over the past 30 years. It presents an excellent selection of the pioneering work in the U.S. and abroad that forms the theoretical underpinnings of electro-optical imaging. Copublished with ONTAR Corp.
