Book Description

Edited and expanded to keep pace with the digital revolution, the new edition of this highly popular and critically acclaimed work provides a comprehensive exploration of imaging scientific discipline. Brilliantly written and extensively illustrated, The Science of Imaging: An Introduction, 2nd Edition covers the fundamental laws of physics also every bit the cut-edge techniques defining current and future directions in the field.

Improvements to this Edition Include:

  • A new chapter on astronomical imaging
  • A larger format with a wealth of illustrations
  • Major revisions in the areas of digital imaging and modern technology
  • Updated references with links to a wealth of online resources—including teaching textile and expanded information

This accessible introduction to the discipline takes students on a grand tour of imaging. Starting with the fundamentals of light and basic cameras, the author journeys through tv and holography to advanced scientific and medical imaging. He highlights essential formulas, while keeping the complex mathematics to a minimum. Copiously illustrated with a wealth of examples and a 16-folio color insert, the text covers optics, imaging systems, materials, and epitome interpretation and cosmos in a manner that makes information technology easy to empathise.

Praise for the critically acclaimed First Edition:

Information technology's the best book I have read on the subject at this level.
—Ron Graham, RPS Journal

... every student should read it, every photographer should own it, and every lecturer and journalist should know its contents inside out.
—Jon Tarrant, British Periodical of Photography

Biography

Graham Saxby served in the Regal Air Force (RAF) for 27 years, the showtime 19 in the trade of lensman, where he undertook virtually every possible class of assignment. After being commissioned into the Education Branch, he was Officeholder Commanding Photographic Science Flight at the RAF School of Photography at Cosford for seven years. On leaving the RAF he joined the staff of what is now the University of Wolverhampton as Senior Lecturer in Educational Technology, afterward moving to the Department of Applied Sciences to teach modern optics. His research into brandish holographic techniques has earned him an international reputation, and his books have won several prestigious awards. Currently, he works equally a freelance editor and reviewer of technical books and as a consultant in optical and photographic matters. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.

Reviews

In summary, the book has many useful formulas for a variety of designs. It is well organized, so users tin easily observe the section relevant to their needs. And the plethora of worked examples is very helpful. … I run into it every bit a useful introduction to the clinical researcher and every bit a reference for the statistician interested in sample size formulae for specific designs.
—The International Biometric Society, 2012

Graham Saxby proves to us in his brilliantly written and well-structured book that many essential topics of such a broad and comprehensive field tin can be squeezed into 352 pages. In my opinion, anyone having an interest on current imaging technologies should read it to extend their knowledge or to develop a wide vision on the field. … it is definitely suitable as a complementary textbook for undergraduate courses on imaging and optical technologies. It can likewise be used equally a reference book for whatever interested reader to acquire the specific terminology in the field. … The explanations are extremely informative and like shooting fish in a barrel to follow. In addition, the text is backed up with many excellent illustrations and intriguing real life examples that I recollect many lecturers would desire to make apply of them in their lectures.
—Doga Gürsoy, Contemporary Physics, 2011

I recommend this book for its articulate and readable style of a broad-ranging subject. … buy this book for an easy-to read holistic account of scientific imaging …
