Modeling the Imaging Chain of Digital Cameras
SPIE 2010; US$ 43.35The process by which an image is formed, processed, and displayed can be conceptualized as a chain of physical events called the imaging chain. By mathematically modeling the imaging chain, we can gain insight into the relationship between the camera design parameters and the resulting image quality. The mathematical models can also be used to optimize... more...
Ion Implantation and Synthesis of Materials
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2007; US$ 119.99Ion implantation is one of the key processing steps in silicon integrated circuit technology. This book presents the physics and materials science of ion implantation and ion beam modification of materials. It covers ion-solid interactions used to predict ion ranges, ion straggling and lattice disorder. more...
