Achieve the Best Camera Design: Up-to-Date Information on MCMs Miniature camera modules (MCMs), such as webcams, have rapidly become ubiquitous in our day-to-day devices, from mobile phones to interactive TV systems. MCMs—or "smart" cameras—can zoom, adjust their frame rate automatically with illumination change, focus at different distances, compensate for hand shake, and transform captured... Read more

Biography

Tigran V. Galstian is a professor in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Optics at the Université Laval in Québec, Canada. He is president of the Canadian section of the International Optics Commission, associate editor of the European Journal of Physics: Applied Physics, and member of the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec and the Société Française d’Optique. He received an MSc and a PhD in quantum electronics from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. His main research interests are new optoelectronic materials and their applications in the areas of optical information and biomedical optics, including behavioral biophysical systems.

"… an important survey of the latest camera technologies in a developing branch of camera design. … The book is well organized and the material is clearly presented. It should serve as a basic reference for many years to come."
—Christian Brosseau, Optics & Photonics News, 2014

"… a pragmatic, useful primer to those wishing to know more about this amazing technology, the camera phone."
—From the Foreword by Tom Killick, LensVector Inc.
