Physics is fundamental to all aspects of digital photography. This book works through the physics underlying the photographic imaging chain, from image capture through to the production of a viewable output digital image. It provides an invaluable insight into the connections between imaging science and photographic practice and is intended for use by both graduate students and established researchers. In this updated and expanded new edition, the material has been reorganised and extensively rewritten and the figures have been enhanced.

Key Features

  • The only book to provide all scientific aspects of digital photography in a single volume
  • Re-arrangement of the existing material to significantly improve readability and understanding
  • Several important topics to be included for the first time, including covering lens and camera technology and advanced photographic techniques
  • Improved figures
  • Accessible to graduate students and established researchers as well as professional and serious amateur photographers

The book is a great theoretical discussion of digital photography aimed at graduates and researchers interested in imaging and photography. I believe that not only physicists interested in the area can benefit from the discussions in the book, but also photographers with a keen eye for the technical aspects of their art will benefit greatly from this excellent book.
