- This book provides a full, general purpose and
application independent exposition of the moiré phenomenon.
- Based on the
Fourier theory it leads the reader through the various phenomena which occur in
the superposition of repetitive layers, both in the image and in the spectral
domains.
- The first chapters of the book present the basic theory which covers
the superposition of monochrome, periodic layers. In later chapters the theory
is extended to the even more interesting cases of polychromatic moirés
and moirés between non-periodic layers.
- Throughout the
whole text the book favours a pictorial, intuitive approach which is supported
by mathematics, and the discussion is accompanied by a large number of figures
and illustrative examples, some of which are visually attractive and even
spectacular.
- Contains 474 pages, including a detailed glossary and more than 130 figures.
This book is intended for students, scientists, engineers and any readers
who wish to widen their knowledge of the moiré effect; on the other hand
it also offers a beautiful demonstration of the Fourier theory and its
relationship with other fields of mathematics and science. The prerequisite
mathematical background is limited to an elementary familiarity with the
Fourier theory.
