6.815/6.865 Digital and Computational Photography
Spring 2008
Instructor: Fredo Durand
TA: Paul Elijah Green
Lecture: TR1-2.30 (32-124 (new room))
Information:
Computational photography is a new field at the convergence of photography, computer vision, image processing, and computer graphics. It leverages the power of digital processing to overcome limitations of traditional photography and it offers unprecedented opportunities for the enhancement and enrichment of visual media. This advanced undergraduate course covers fundamentals and applications of hardware and software techniques, with an emphasis on software methods. The course will emphasize hands-on aspects and will culminate into a final project. The goal is to provide students with sufficient backgrounds to implement new solutions to photography challenges and opportunities.
Topics include cameras and image formation, image processing and image representations, high-dynamic-range-imaging, human visual perception and color, single view 3D model reconstruction, morphing, data-rich photography, superresolution, image-based rendering.
6.865 meets with 6.815, but requires completion of additional homework.
