IMAGING SYSTEMS - COMPUTATIONAL OPTICAL
IMAGING
Instructor: Prof. Rafael Piestun
Imaging
has evolved from the early single-image, pixel-based, and model-less methods,
to new modalities including multi-image, multisensor,
and model-based approaches. The design of computational optical systems
simultaneously incorporates optics, optoelectronics, signal
processing, and advanced mathematical algorithms. The system performance is
controlled by joint optimization of these elements, as opposed to an
independent optimization of each separately. The greatest potential is in
realizing capabilities and
performance that are otherwise impossible to obtain using classical methods.
High impact application areas encompass UV lithography,
nano-manufacturing inspection, superresolution
microscopy for biological sciences including single molecule studies,
environmental sensing, radar image processing, and
imaging systems for consumer electronics.
This
course covers the fundamentals of multiple
optical imaging
and sensing modalities, including optical tomography, coherence, synthetic
aperture, metamaterials and plasmonic
imaging architectures, as well as wavefront coded
imaging. The goal is to help understand
and design the next generation of imaging systems.
