An introduction to academic and student life in the College of Science and the Center for Imaging Science. It describes the field of imaging science and introduces students to the component parts of many imaging systems. In addition, guest lectures by the Carlson Center for Imaging Science faculty introduce students to the range of ongoing projects in the Center.
Students select one topic, research it in more depth, and write a term paper.
The system, from light source through display, is examined and evaluated. Students are introduced to additive and subtractive color systems and their basis in human color perception. This course will introduce the student to the IDL environment as a data visualization tool and a programming language. The student will learn the various capabilities of the package and how they can rapidly prototype solutions to various science and engineering problems. As these solutions are developed, fundamental concepts of programming and data structures will be introduced.
