Imaging Sensor Technologies And Applications

Imaging sensors are crucial for electronic imaging systems, including digital cameras, camera modules, medical imaging equipment, night vision equipment, radar and sonar, drones, and many others. This contributed book covers a wide range of frequency, sensing modalities and applications, including x-ray beam imaging sensors, optical scattering sensors, smart visual sensors in robotic systems, tuneable diode Laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors, microwave imaging sensors, electro-magnetic imaging with ultra-wideband (UWB) sensors, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), electrical resistance tomography (ERT) sensors, electrical tomography for medical applications, electro-magnetic tomography (EMT) sensors, micro sensors for cell and blood imaging, and ultrasound imaging sensors.

Bringing together information on state-of-the-art research in the field, this book is a valuable resource for engineers, researchers, designers and developers, and advanced students and lecturers working on sensing, imaging, optics, photonics, medical imaging, instrumentation, measurement and electronics.

Wuqiang Yang is a Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the IET and Fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control. He spent 13 years at Tsinghua University in Beijing, as an undergraduate, MSc and PhD student and then as a lecturer. Since 1991, he has been working with UMIST and University of Manchester in the UK. He became a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2005. His main research interests include electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), instrumentation and multiphase flow measurement. He has published 400 papers and edited a book 'Sensor array', which is published by Intech. He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. on Instrum. and Meas. and IET Sci., Meas. and Technol., editorial board member of several other journals (including Meas. Sci. and Technol. and Sensor Review), guest editor of many journal special issues and visiting professor at several other universities. He is one of the key organisers of the annual IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques. He was an IEEE IMS Distinguished Lecturer (2010-2016) and a JSPS Invitation Fellow (2016) and is a JSPS Bridge Fellow (2020). His biography has been included in Who's Who in the World since 2002.
