Overview

"This book presents a unified treatment of the mathematical methods that underpin the various algorithms used in remote image formation." "The author begins with a review of transform and filter theory. He then discusses two-and three-dimensional Fourier transform theory, the ambiguity function, image construction and reconstruction, tomography, baseband surveillance systems, and passive systems (where the signal source might be an earthquake or a galaxy). Information-theoretic methods for image formation in the presence of noise are also covered." Throughout the book, practical applications illustrate theoretical concepts, and there are many homework problems. The book is aimed at graduate students of electrical engineering and computer science, and practitioners in industry.
