This book works through the physics underlying the photographic imaging chain, from image capture through to the production of a viewable output digital image. It provides an invaluable insight into the connections between imaging science and photographic practice and is intended for use by both graduate students and established researchers. In this updated and expanded new edition, the material has been reorganised and extensively rewritten and the figures have been enhanced.Students and researchers, especially in areas of physics, imaging and electrical engineering. Scientific photographers in any discipline.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Andy Rowlands obtained a first-class degree in Mathematics and Physics and a PhD in Physics from the University of Warwick, UK, and has held research positions at the University of Bristol, UK, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA, Tongji University, China, and the University of Cambridge, UK. An extensive knowledge of the theory of digital photography along with practical experience as a freelance photographer puts the author in a unique position to develop this text.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 6, 2020).
