Zusatztext "This book is on the basic foundations of digital still cameras ? It includes both the theory and the concepts of both the hardware being used and the software that ties everything together ? Dr. Nakamura has gotten a group of people from various companies to write chapters on their own area of expertise. ? [These companies are] a who's who of the digital camera field including: Konica Minolta! Canon! Olympus! Fuji! and various specialized companies?"-Books-On-Line Informationen zum Autor Nakamura, Junichi Klappentext Shrinking pixel sizes along with improvements in image sensors, optics, and electronics have elevated DSCs to levels of performance that match, and have the potential to surpass, that of silver-halide film cameras. Image Sensors and Signal Processing for Digital Still Cameras captures the current state of DSC image acquisition and signal processing technology and takes an all-inclusive look at the field, from the history of DSCs to future possibilities.The first chapter outlines the evolution of DSCs, their basic structure, and their major application classes. The next few chapters discuss high-quality optics that meet the requirements of better image sensors, the basic functions and performance parameters of image sensors, and detailed discussions of both CCD and CMOS image sensors. The book then discusses how color theory affects the uses of DSCs, presents basic image processing and camera control algorithms and examples of advanced image processing algorithms, explores the architecture and required performance of signal processing engines, and explains how to evaluate image quality for each component described. The book closes with a look at future technologies and the challenges that must be overcome to realize them.With contributions from many active DSC experts, Image Sensors and Image Processing for Digital Still Cameras offers unparalleled real-world coverage and opens wide the door for future innovation. Zusammenfassung Improvements in sensor technology as well as in optics and electronics technologies have elevated digital still cameras (DSCs) to levels of quality comparable to those of film cameras. This book acquaints engineers with the concepts, applications, and directions of digital image acquisition and signal processing technology in DSCs.
