Electronic Imaging: Propagation, Retrieval, Recognition

Abstract

This is the final report for a balanced program of theoretical and experimental research that has been conducted in order to discover and demonstrate novel emerging electronic imaging systems. Electronic imaging systems combine optical image acquisition and photosensor arrays with digital computers and displays. This combination leads to systems which are capable of remarkable performance, hence the designation smart cameras. Smart cameras are systems that see and think. During this program, we have made excellent progress on several projects and graduated two doctoral scholars. Papers were published on GRIN array imaging, holography of nonrigid objects, holographic interference filters for infrared communications, and extended depth of field by tenfold using our novel logarithmic asphere lens. Important image science publications include an extension to the Whitiker-Shannon sampling theory. Three patents were filed or granted: Imaging through turbulence, wide angle uniform diffusing screens, and the logarithmic asphere lens.
