4. Conclusion

The first article [E 4 150] "From diffraction to the Fourier plane..." is complemented by this second article "From the Fourier plane to imaging", which presents practical applications of Fourier optics, from fundamental to industrial research. It presents a non-exhaustive range of applications, providing an insight into several concepts used by optical systems.

Optical devices are used every day for dimensional measurements, real-time image processing, personal safety monitoring and many other applications.

The use of an efficient formalism, such...
