Abstract

One of the goals of this book is to illustrate how many important characteristics of both the human visual system and technical systems for the acquisition and processing of images can be described using linear system theory (LST), i.e., the theory of linear vector spaces. Such a common mathematical framework has obvious practical advantages, since it simplifies the transfer of existing insights into the visual system to the optimization of technical imaging systems. A general mathematical perspective can also lead to new insights, since known mathematical theorems may have unforeseen implications. They may for instance lead to new algorithms for image processing or image coding and/or to new models for experimentally observed mechanisms in the visual system.
