Image Technology Design: A Perceptual Approach is an essential
reference for both academic and professional researchers in the fields
of image technology, image processing and coding, image display, and
image quality. It bridges the gap between academic research on visual
perception and image quality and applications of such research in the
design of imaging systems.
This book has been written from the point of view of an electrical
engineer interested in the display, processing and coding of images, and
frequently involved in applying knowledge from visual psychophysics,
experimental psychology, statistics, etc., to the design of imaging
systems. It focuses on the exchange of ideas between technical
disciplines in image technology design (such as image display or printer
design and image processing) and visual psychophysics. This is
accomplished by the consistent use of a single mathematical approach
(based on linear vector spaces) throughout. Known facts from color
vision, image sampling and quantization are given a new formulation and,
in some instances, a new interpretation.
Image Technology Design: A Perceptual Approach is also of interest
to those working in signal processing, linear algebra, visual
(color/spatial) perception, psychophysics, psychometrics, and
statistics.
