  Entangled photons, generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion from a
second-order nonlinear crystal, present a rich potential for imaging and
image-processing applications. Since this source is an example of a three-wave
mixing process, there is more flexibility in the choices of illumination and
detection wavelengths and in the placement of object(s) to be imaged. Moreover,
this source is entangled, a fact that allows for imaging configurations and
capabilities that cannot be achieved using classical sources of light. In this
paper we examine a number of imaging and image-processing configurations that
can be realized using this source. The formalism that we utilize facilitates
the determination of the dependence of imaging resolution on the physical
parameters of the optical arrangement.
