Recent Advances in Computational Photography

Traditional photography focuses on the optimization of lenses for a perfect imaging system. However, with the great developments of computational resources and optical modulation devices, we can achieve more powerful imaging abilities with concise optics. Computational photography is such an emerging interdisciplinary field by incorporating computational strategy in traditional imaging system to break the limitations in various dimensions such as spectrum, time and space. Recent advances in different aspects have aroused great interests and introduced tremendous applications in biology, material science and computer vision.
