What is computational photography? What is it used for? Computational imaging techniques High Dynamic Range Imaging Light fields Light Field Rendering Synthetic Aperture Photography Relighting Through Computation
High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging Increasing the color contrast and range HDR imaging for static scenes non-static scenes
Light Fields A function of the amount of light traveling in every direction through every point in space. Light Field Rendering Synthetic Aperture Photography
Light Fields Light Field Rendering
Light Fields Synthetic Aperture Photography First observed by Leonardo da Vinci This idea can be used in photography with an array of cameras
Relighting Through Computation Changing the lighting of an image Intensity Color Origin of light
Relighting Through Computation Light is additive This concept is used to change the intensity and origin of the light Color Scaling the color channels of an image
Light Stage
Summing it up... Computational photography is still new It has many applications and will continue to grow as technology increases
