Biography

Dr. Song Zhang is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Iowa State University. His research interests include the fundamental physics of optical metrology, new mathematical and computational tools for 3D shape analysis, and designing superfast 3D imaging and sensing techniques. A recipient of the NSF CAREER award in 2012, Dr. Zhang has published over 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and authored four book chapters. He is a reviewer for over 20 international journals, a committee member for numerous conferences, and a cochair for several conferences.

"The chapters are well written and offer a uniform high standard of content. … This book should appeal to any academic or industrial researcher, or developer looking to expand their skills into machine vision: it would be particularly useful to any young researcher just starting out. The expert in the field should also find something of interest. The concepts outlined have wider applicability and this is a good place to start for anyone looking for an overview of these technologies."
