Synopsis

Speckle study constitutes a multidisciplinary area with inherent complexities. In order to conquer challenges such as the variability of samples and sensitive measurements, researchers must develop a theoretical and statistical understanding of both biological and non-biological metrology using dynamic speckle laser.

Dynamic Laser Speckle and Applications discusses the main methodologies used to analyze biospeckle phenomena with a strong focus on experimentation. After establishing a theoretical background in both speckle and biospeckle, the book presents the main methodologies for statistical and image analysis. It then deals with the concept of frequency decomposition before moving on to a discussion of fuzzy methods to treat dynamic speckle data. The book dedicates two sections to applications, including agricultural approaches. Additional features include photo images of experiments and software to aid in easy start-up of dynamic speckle usage.

A systematic approach to new dynamic speckle laser phenomena, this book provides the physical theory and statistical background needed to analyze images formed by laser illumination in biological and non-biological samples.

From the Back Cover

Beginning with physical theory, statistical analysis, and applications, this book presents a systematic approach to new dynamic speckle laser phenomena. Theoretical topics include speckle, biospeckle, and simulation models for laser light interaction. Dynamic Laser Speckle and Applications discusses the main methodologies used to analyze biospeckle phenomena-such as image analysis, frequency decomposition, as well as neural and fuzzy methods-with a strong focus on experimentation. With examples of biological and non-biological materials, several chapters address current and future application areas. Photos of experiments further enhance understanding of the concepts in the text.
