Computational Photography and Capture, Spring 2011

Syllabus

Home | Syllabus | Course Work | Assessment | Labs

Objectives

The module is designed to be self-contained, introducing the theoretical and practical aspects of modern photography and capture algorithms to students with only limited mathematical background. The two primary aims are to introduce universal models of colour, computer-controlled cameras, lighting and shape capture, and to motivate students to choose among the topics presented for either continuing study (for those considering MSc's and PhD's) or future careers in the fields of advanced imaging.
