DESCRIPTION:
Optical Metrology may be rightly described as an ensemble of techniques in which fields such as physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, and computer science merge and blend in new ways. This book is, however, not intended as a commemoration, rather as an occasion to review the trends and undercurrents that are driving the field of optical metrology, with emphasis on nondestructive testing. As a result it has become apparent that it is difficult although not impossible to spot general trends in these disparate fields. This puts in sharp perspective the strong dependence of optical metrology on the latest technology for its development. It is interesting to note the parallel in the evolution of optical metrology vis à vis developments in other fields: the development of lasers led to holographic interferometry, the availability of frame-grabbers led to ESPI and the emergence of fiber optic communications opened the way to the development of fiber optic sensors. Of all our five senses, vision is certainly the most developed and the closest
A Customer said A great work. This is one of the best books that I have come accross covering a broad range of topics in the field of optical metrology. It gives a very good appreciation of the techniques and the research that is currently being pursued in the area.. "The best book I have ever read !!!!" according to A Customer. This is a superb book. The authors did a wonderful job. I recommend this book to everyone.
