I. Photographic Scanning Systems JPHT 486

1.1 4 quarter credits
1.2 2 hour lecture, 4 hour laboratory per week. Some of the laboratory time may be spent procuring and/or analyzing data outside of the classroom setting.
1.3 The prerequisite is upper class status in the Imaging and Photographic Technology Department or permission.
1.4 this is a one quarter long course

II. Course catalog description:

The student will receive instruction and make photographs related to the ever increasing application of scanning imaging systems in industry, especially as these relate to industrial, scientific, and technical applications. Simplified and experimental equipment will be demonstrated and used. Primary emphasis will be on demonstrating a thorough understanding of the imaging processes and controls at work in systems such as peripheral, photofinish, strip enlarging, and panoramic recording methods.

III. Objectives:

3.1 At the end of this course the student will be expected to understand a variety of applications of scanning imaging processes.

3.2 To identify the equipment necessary to undertake a number of assignments requiring the use of scanning imaging¨ systems.

3.3 To function in a more knowledgeable manner in future technical and industrial photographic situations.

3.4 To gain an appreciation for simplified approaches to photographic instrumentation applications.

3.5 To make photographs which relate to the projects presented in class.

4.1 Review and introduction to scanning recording systems.

4.2 Photofinish photography

4.3 Moving camera/linear strip photography.

4.4 Peripheral photography.

4.5 Panoramic photography.

4.6 Conical peripheral photography.

4.7 Scanning photomacrography systems.

4.8 Strip enlarging.

Instructional techniques include lectures, films, laboratories, field trips, slide/tape shows, video tapes, simulations, etc.

VI. Evaluation:

The evaluation will be based on the submission of written and illustrated project reports. A final exam is included in the course.

VI. Bibliography:

There are no required texts or suggested reading. Relevant material as written or procured by the instructor will be made available to the students wherever possible.
