Lecturers
Prof. Cao Liangcai, Tsinghua University
Abstract
This course provides a broad overview of optical sensing and imaging principles and techniques for advanced manufacturing applications, as well as on the generic uses of sensors and cameras for our daily lives. The ongoing status and trends in sensing and imaging will be presented for high resolution, low cost, smart devices in the fields of microscope, cell phone, autonomous driving, machine vision, and so on. The basic optics will be introduced including numerical aperture, imaging resolution, depth of focus, field of view, and so on. Typical optical sensors, detectors, modulators and filters will be introduced for various imaging systems. A brief overview will also be given on computational imaging with cutting-edge components, algorithms, and systems for scientific research and industrial applications.
