Seminar on the Mathematics of Electrical Imaging

Organizer: Bill Lionheart, Department of Mathematics, UMIST.

We arent running the seminar series at the moment, but the past notes may be of interest. The 3rd year course 361 Inverse Problems and Imaging has to some extent taken its place.

This series of seminars will present the mathematical aspects of electrical imaging (Resistance, Capacitance and Impedance Imaging). We will assuming only basic engineering mathematics such as simple matrix algebra, complex variables, Fourier series, partial derivatives, multiple integrals. The series will start as a tutorial, but I hope will build to a forum with more general participation and become a melting pot for new innovation in electrical imaging. I hope also that in future we will discuss other industrial and medical imaging modalities and modelling of industrial processes.

Notes are usually taken by Nick Polydorides, and given a little editing by me. They are just notes and we aim at getting them out quickly after the seminar -- please take them as they are.

If you are interested in coming please email me to joint the mailing list Bill.Lionheart@umist.ac.uk

PostScript

For 'net newbies, if you are using Micro$oft windows and want to view a post script document on screen, get your self a copy of GhostView. Its Free! Or you can just use the DOS copy command to copy the PostScript file directly to your PostScript printer like this COPY ferd.ps LPT1:  In the case where the PostScript is compressed (.gz) GhostView will (should) automatically decompress it. If you want to decompress it to send to your printer visit www.gzip.com
 

 Adobe Portable Document Format

For information on PDF viewers see for instance the Adobe web site. Viewers are free.  These files were made with ps2pdf which has some limitations. Some M$-Windows user report are files are ugly when viewed on screen but ok when printed out. Something to do with which fonts you have installed. On the latest PDFs this should have been fixed.
