Currently Teaching

IMGS-699
0 Credits
This course is a cooperative education experience for graduate imaging science students.
IMGS-740
3 Credits
The analysis and solution of imaging science systems problems for students enrolled in the MS Project capstone paper option.
IMGS-765
3 Credits
This course introduces the techniques utilized for system performance predictions of new imaging platforms during their design phase. Emphasis will be placed on systems engineering concepts and their impact on final product quality through first principles modeling. In addition, the student will learn techniques to characterize system performance during actual operation to monitor compliance to performance specifications and monitor system health. Although the focus of the course will be on electro-optical collection systems, some modality specific concepts will be introduced for LIDAR, broadband infrared, polarimetric, and hyperspectral systems.
