Martinsanz G.P. (Ed) Imaging: Sensors and Technologies

Basel, Switzerland: MDPI, 2017. — 634 p. — (sensors).This book contains high-quality works demonstrating significant achievements and advances in imaging sensors, covering spectral electromagnetic and acoustic ranges. They are self-contained works addressing different imaging-based procedures and applications in several areas, including 3D data recovery; multispectral analysis; biometrics applications; computed tomography; surface defects; indoor/outdoor systems; surveillance. Advanced imaging technologies and specific sensors are also described on the electromagnetic spectrum (ultraviolet, visible, infrared), including airborne calibration systems; selective change driven, multi-spectral systems; specific electronic devices (CMOS, CCDs, CZT, X-Ray, and fluorescence); multi-camera systems; line sensors arrays; video systems. Some technologies based on acoustic imaging are also provided, including acoustic planar arrays of MEMS or linear arrays.
The reader will also find an excellent source of resources, when necessary, in the development of his/her research, teaching or industrial activity, involving imaging and processing procedures.
This book describes worldwide developments and references on the covered topics—useful in the contexts addressed. Our society is demanding new technologies and methods related to images in order to take immediate actions or to extract the underlying knowledge on the spot, with important contributions to welfare or specific actions when required.
The international scientific and industrial communities worldwide also benefit indirectly. Indeed, this book provides insights into and solutions for the different problems addressed. It also lays the foundation for future advances toward new challenges. In this regard, new imaging sensors, technologies and procedures contribute to the solution of existing problems; conversely, they contribute where the need to resolve certain problems demands the development of new imaging technologies and associated procedures.Depth Errors Analysis and Correction for Time-of-Flight (ToF) Cameras.
