Imaging system design for improved information capacity
Carl L. Fales, Friedrich O. Huck, Richard W. Samms · Applied Optics · 1984
Shannon’s theory of information for communication channels is used to assess the performance of line-scan and sensor-array imaging systems and to optimize the design trade-offs involving sensitivity, spatial response, and sampling intervals. Formulations and computational evaluations account for spatial responses typical of line-scan and sensor-array mechanisms, lens diffraction and transmittance shading, defocus blur, and square and hexagonal sampling lattices.
