Radiance and photon noise : imaging in geometrical optics, physical optics, quantum optics and radiology

The statistics of detector outputs produced by an imaging system are derived from basic radiometric concepts and definitions. We show that a fundamental way of describing a photon-limited imaging system is in terms of a Poisson random process in spatial, angular, and wavelength variables. We begin t...
