Special Issue on Vision and Computational Photography and Graphics

Scope

Computational photography is a new and rapidly developing research field. It aims at removing the limitations of the traditional camera by recording much more information and processing this information afterward. Computational photography is believed to lie at the convergence of computer graphics, computer vision and photography, and many of the techniques adopted in computational photography indeed first appeared in the computer vision literature. Many of the latest exciting developments in computational photography are closely related to computer vision. For instance, computational cameras that use object detection and visual tracking to better focus and expose the image.

This special issue covers a wide range of topics on computational photography, with a common denominator devoted to the application of computer vision techniques for computational photography tasks. The scope of this special issue is interdisciplinary and seeks collaborative contributions from academia and industrial experts in the areas of image sensors, photonics, information theory, signal processing, computer vision, and machine learning/data mining.
