Acoustical Sensing and Imaging

A focused treatment of acoustical sensing and imaging covering the foundational aspects related to the major applications of underwater sensing, sonar imaging, tomographic acoustic microscopy, geophysical exploration, and medical ultrasound imaging is presented in this book. The theoretical framework and commonality of operating modalities is covered through a solid foundation of mathematical analysis and physical modeling. The concepts and techniques highlighted can be applied to many other sensing and imaging applications in the optical, microwave, terahertz, and ultrasound domains.

Hua Lee earned his BS from the National Taiwan University in 1974, and MS and Ph.D from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), in 1978 and 1980, respectively. He returned to UCSB in 1990, and is currently a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Prior to his return to UCSB, he was on the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests cover the areas of imaging system optimization, high-performance image formation algorithms, synthetic aperture radar and sonar systems, acoustic microscopy, microwave nondestructive evaluation, terahertz imaging, tomographic ground-penetrating radar imaging, and reconfigurable sensing systems.
