Deconvolution: With Applications in Spectroscopy

The Literature on deconvolution is rich with the contributions of many investigations. These contributions are, however, scattered among journals devoted to numerous specialties. No single volume has been available that provides both an overview and detail needed by a newcomer to this field.

Peter A. Jansson received his bachelors degree from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1964 and pursued his graduate studies in physics at Florida State University. In 1967 he achieved a practical superresolving solution to the problem of deconvolving noisy spectral data by making effective use of positivity and an upper bound. After receiving his Ph.D. from Florida State in 1968, he joined DuPont Company's Engineering Physics Laboratory. In 1969, he initiated DuPont's program in digital image processing. He has assisted numerous DuPont businesses by developing instruments that apply optics, electronics, and numerical processing in research and manufacturing. Recently his interests have included biomedical imaging, artificial neural networks, color science, product modeling, and product appearance simulation. He authored/edited the previous edition of Deconvolution, has 25 other publications, holds 8 U.S. patents, and is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He presently holds the position of Research Fellow in Central Research at DuPont.
