Refresher on Complex Numbers • http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/complex/ • http://www.dspguide.com/ch30.htm
World is practically continuous intimespacecolorbrightness 1011 dynamic range brightness
Digital World • Quantized in: • time • space • color • brightness how many frames/second? how many pixels? how many primaries? how many bits/pixel?
Outline • Image formation • Pinhole camera • Point source (x-ray) • Lens • Sensors • Film • Image orthicon • CCD
Pinhole Camera Features? Tradeoffs?
Lens Features? Tradeoffs?
How TV Worked(in the old days) • What is a cathode? What is a cathode ray? What is a cathode ray tube? • What is a phosphor? What are "phosphorescence"and "fluorescence"? • How does a "cathode ray tube" CRT work? • How was the TV image acquired? • What is a "raster" scan? • What are horizontal and vertical "sync"? • What is "interlace"? Why do that? • What determines the "resolution"? • What is "gamma" and why should it be corrected? • How did they get color? • How do decisions made in the 40's affect CG, CV, and IP today?
