Abstract

Fall 2008 Note: A full version of this course with lectures is available at Illinois ECE 460 Optical Imaging.

Introduction to visible and infrared imaging systems covering fields, optical elements, electronic sensors, and embedded processing systems. Lectures and labs cover active and passive illumination, ranging, holography, polarization, coherence, spectroscopy, and sampling with an emphasis on electronic optomechanical control and data acquisition.

Note: these notes have been posted for early accessibility and will be updated during the Fall Semester of 2008 to include breezed presentations, relevant tools, relevant literature, and homework assignments.
