Description

Computational photography is a new and rapidly developing research field that has evolved from computer vision, image processing, computer graphics, and applied optics to computational imaging techniques that enhance or extend the capabilities of digital photography. The output of these techniques is an image that cannot be produced by today's common imaging solutions. This book details recent advances in computational photography, their applications, and specific research challenges. The text begins with computational photography fundamentals and computational cameras, followed by a discussion of computational photography approaches across a broad spectrum of imaging applications.
