Abstract
An imaging system collects radiation emitted by objects to make them visible. The radiation consists of a flow of particles or electromagnetic or acoustic waves. In classical computer vision scenes and illumination are taken and analyzed as they are given, but visual systems used in scientific and industrial applications require a different approach. There, the first task is to establish the quantitative relation between the object feature of interest and the emitted radiation. It is the aim of these efforts to map the object feature of interest with minimum possible distortion of the collected radiance by other parameters.
