Course Content
The furious progress being made in the field of sensor technology and downstream analog and digital electronics combined with ever-increasing miniaturisation makes the design of more and more complex sensor groups possible. Parallel to this, with the digital computer technologies of the future, which can be interconnected to produce huge computing fields, computing capabilities are now available which are able to analyse and display the data of large sensor groups with the aid of the most complex signal-processing algorithms.In the international Bachelor's programme in Imaging Physics these new opportunities and challenges are being taken into account. In the process students receive a practical, solidly scientific physics education at an internationally high level, one which in addition to the classic basic subjects of mathematics, physics and electrical engineering includes in-depth study in the following fields:
- Acoustical Imaging
- Imaging Metrology
- Optical Imaging
- Remote Sensing
Through these emphases it is ensured that the students' training both with respect to its contents and its methodology can be kept at most current scientific level.
The areas of specialisation imaging metrology and optical imaging, which are offered in close cooperation with the International programme in Micro- and Opto-system Technology, include the topics sensor technology and actuator technology, laser and imaging technology.
In the area of specialization acoustical imaging, building on a lecture on the principles of acoustic metrology, the main topics will be in the area of hydroacoustic imaging metrology (solar engineering).
The courses and lectures of the fourth area of specialization, remote sensing, address the subject area of remote sensing measurement engineering using imaging sensors, whereby the sensor, depending on the application, can consist of sonar, radar and lidar.
