Computational photography is an emerging field that aims to overcome the
limitations of conventional digital cameras to produce more vivid, compelling,
and meaningful visualizations of the world around us. In this course, we will
study ways of manipulating and combining photographs and videos to produce new
and better pictures, 3D models, walkthroughs, panoramas, animations, etc.
Although we will primarily focus on computational techniques that work with
standard digital photographs or videos, we will also touch on the subject of
designing novel and unconventional imaging devices, such as light field
cameras.
If you have taken COMP 790 or COMP 776 with me last
year, I really hope to see you in this course! The
overlap with the topics covered in those courses will be minimal.
