Download or read book Electromagnetic Imaging in Science and Medicine written by P. Ratnamahilan P. Hoole and published by Wit Pr/Computational Mechanics. This book was released on 2000-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces research and development engineers, graduate students and senior undergraduate students to the basic principles and techniques involved in electromagnetic image reconstruction and image processing. An attractive feature of the book is that in addition to covering the fundamental science behind imaging and the algorithms most commonly used, it also provides technological implementation examples of imaging. All the concepts and applications of electromagnetic imaging considered essential are discussed, while the programs listed will be of help to beginners who require a starting point for reconstructing images, as well as for manipulating and processing these. Signal processing is addressed at the levels of both images and the time domain electromagnetic signals and basic tools available for processing images are described. The application of wavelets and wavelet transforms to electromagnetic imaging systems is presented as a general approach to processing and understanding electromagnetic images.
