Book Description

0123802229 978-0123802224 October 14, 1996 2
Deconvolution of Images and Spectra is a Second Edition of Janssons 1984 book, Deconvolution: With Applications in Spectroscopy. This landmark volume was the first published on deconvolution to provide both an overview of the field, and practical methods and results. In the twelve years since the first book was published, major advances have taken place. For example, researchers have refined projections onto convex sets, improved understanding of other relaxation methods, applied principles of neural networks, and extended the most effective nonlinear methods to image processing.
The significant advances in the years since the First Edition have created the need for this Second Edition, which addresses both the most recent and effective nonlinear constrained methods, and their practical application to a variety scientific and engineering fields. Deconvolution of Images and Spectra embraces all the advantages of its predecessor by conveying a clear understanding while providing a selection of effective and practical techniques. The authors assume only a working knowledge ofcalculus, and emphasize practical applications over topics of purely theoretical interest, focusing on areas that have been pivotal to the evolution of the most effective methods. This tutorial is essentially self-contained; readers will find it to be easy to understand and practical.

Key Features

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an excellent practical handbook for using deconvolution with real data for which the positivity contstraint is useful, such as in optical images and spectra...Figures are clear and the text is very readable...We are happy to have this book and recommend it to anyone involved in data analysis or signal processing which involves deconvolution."
--AMERICAN SCIENTIST

From the Back Cover

Deconvolution is a technique in signal or image processing that is applied when data is difficult to read due to spreading and blurring of corrupt images and experimental results. Deconvolution of Images and Spectra is a second edition of Jansson's 1984 book, Deconvolution with Applications in Spectroscopy (Academic Press). This landmark volume was first published to provide both an overview of the field, and practical methods and results. In the twelve years since the first book was published, major advances have been made in the field.

Deconvolution of Images and Spectra includes all the advantages of its predecessor by conveying a clear understanding of the field while providing a selection of effective, practical techniques. The authors assume only a working knowledge of calculus, and emphasize practical applications over topics of theoretical interest, focusing on areas that have been pivotal to the evolution of the most effective methods. This tutorial is essentially self-contained, and readers will find it practical and easy to understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Broad introduction to deconvolution, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Deconvolution of Images and Spectra, Second Edition (Hardcover)
This book will not serve as a tutorial for those unfamiliar with the mathematics, but it is of great use to people requiring a broad
introduction to deconvolution and also to those interested in other standard and exotic deconvolution methods.

This book covers a wide mathematical path. The reader should have a background in Fourier analysis, convolution theory, and image processing since these topics are mentioned for the purpose of definitions used later in the book. The value of this book is that it brings together from the fields of image processing and spectroscopy many advanced deconvolution methods and how they may be used to remove the characteristic blur inherent in any scientific instrument.

Chapter 1 covers the basic mathematics of Fourier transforms, convolution, and deconvolution. the author then covers spectrometer distortion in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 discusses the linear deconvolution methods such as that of Van Cittert. Nonlinear constrained iterative methods of deconvolution are covered in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is a short excursion into the convergence of relation algorithms. People unfamiliar with advanced topics, such as projection onto convex sets, Fourier spectrum continuation, and maximum probable estimates of spectra, will gain some understanding from these chapters, but the references listed at the end of the chapters will be required reading.

Since the text covers many deconvolution methods, comparisons between techniques such as Van Cittert's method and Gold's ratio are also included. Readers will have to cover many examples and mathematical algorithms to determine if a deconvolution method is appropriate for their
digital data. Several chapters have an excellent discussion of image deconvolution along with example images before and after deconvolution. The references at the end of each chapter will save the professional many hours of literature searching.

The only reason to reduce the rating down to 4 stars is that this book is currenly out of date.
