The Lens and All Its Jobs

Hastings House Pub

Originated and sponsored by the Association for High Speed Photography. Reprinted from the 1997 Focal Press publication, this book forms a definitive work on the subject of high speed photography (HSP) and its many exciting innovations in commercial, industrial, and military applications. The material in this book moves progressively from an introduction to and development of HSP, to a detailed examination of illumination and image capture systems, data extraction and image processing in experimental procedures.
