How can we create an entirely new class of imaging platforms

that have an understanding of the world that far exceeds human ability

and produce meaningful abstractions that are well ithi h h ibilit ?within human comprehensibility ?

Computational Photography

1. Epsilon Photography– Low-level Vision: Pixels– Multiphotos by bracketing (HDR, panorama)– ‘Ultimate camera’

2. Coded Photography– Mid-Level Cues:

• Regions, Edges, Motion, Direct/globalg , g , , g– Single/few snapshot

• Reversible encoding of data– Additional sensors/optics/illum

3. Essence Photography– Not mimic human eyeNot mimic human eye– Beyond single view/illum– ‘New artform’
