This book provides a sound reference work enabling the reader to understand current digital imaging technology, terms and relationships. From a basic understanding of optics, imaging systems and necessary technology, the reader will be able to follow future developments in this rapidly growing sector of imaging. The book will find a place in all companies involved in imaging, publishing, mapping and remote sensing and related sectors, and be relevant for colleges and universities, particularly those that teach information technology, media and publishing studies, photography, electronics, physics and any subject that uses images as a data source.

The author introduces science and technology in an interesting way and although no issues are taken to excessive lengths, none are overlooked. The final part of the book introduces a number of applications to stimulate interest and illustrate the tremendous potential of this rapidly growing technology.

What the reviews say:

'Digital Imaging provides a clear and interesting introduction to the technology and its uses… Graham covers the lot…It's a fine reference for anyone dealing with digital imaging, digital camera owners and those who use scanned conventional photographs in documents or Web pages, amateurs or professionals. Digital Imaging shouldn't be far from your desk.'
