Imaging elements

Region segmentation, when we are interested by the image element contents. 

Ma.ke-Rea.dy, Because pressure is needed for ink wetting and transfer and because the image elements in letterpress vary in size, the same amount of printing pressure or squeeze exerts more pressure on highlight dots than on shadow dots. This necessitates considerable make-ready to even the impression so that the highlights print correctly and do not puncture the paper. Precision plates and premake-ready systems have helped reduce make-ready time, but it is still appreciable for quaUty printing and is a reason letterpress has been largely replaced by other processes. 

We also obtain this result if we use a lens or mirror to image the exit slit onto a detector, provided that any blur produced by this imaging element is negligible compared with the breadth of rinc(z). 

Experiments indicate that ions are almost two orders of magnitude more efficient than 20 keV electrons 54). This is because the energy of the ions is more completely absorbed in the resist layer. The high sensitivity can be a problem, however, for very high resolution because of inherent noise fluctuations created by the small number of ions needed to expose an image element (55). At an exposure dose of 10 8 C/cm2, only 6 ions will expose a 0.1 /urn x 0.1 /urn element resulting in an exposure uncertainty of 40%. This is not satisfactory.

Mapping through the vector representation. The simplest mapping 1 y possible is based on the fact that 1 = l.F, where 1 = 1 = Qi, I2,13,...) is a row vector, and one can then define the image element y through the relation... 

Any optical system transports electromagnetic radiation. This radiant power may comprise information in terms of wavelength distributions, intensity, polarization, and phase, either in space or in time. An optical system is essentially constituted either by imaging elements, such as lenses or mirrors, or conducting elements, such as optical fibers (Sec. 3.3.2). An optical system usually comprises a series of imaging elements. These are combined with elements which produce or detect radiation or interact in different ways with it.
