After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand optical imaging in the framework of different theoretical approaches,  in particular matrix optics and diffraction optics based upon Fourier-formalisms.

Optical image processing plays an important role in various technological areas. This series of lectures provides an introduction into the theory of imaging and image processing, including system-theoretical approaches. Contents: Matrix-formalism of geometrical optics: optical imaging components: wave-optical theory of image formation: Fourier-optical treatment of image formation: spatial filtering: holography: pattern recognition: statistical optics.
