In this book, optoelectronic structures are described from the point of view of signal and systems theory. So the book presents a unified description of optical components, quantum detectors, structures for signal processing, and digital methods of simulating and processing optical signals. The book is addressed to scientists and engineers engaged in the fields of development, application or evaluation of optical sensor systems. Because of its systematic structure, the book is of good use for students, too.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2006, held in Berlin, June 2006. The book presents 34 revised full papers together with two invited papers, covering topics including combinatorial image analysis; grammars and models for analysis and recognition of scenes and images; combinatorial topology and geometry for images; digital geometry of curves and surfaces; algebraic approaches to image processing, and more.
