Computational Imaging Technology Center
"Computational imaging is the process of indirectly forming images from measurements using algorithms that rely on a significant amount of computing. In contrast to traditional imaging, computational imaging systems involve a tight integration of the sensing system and the computation in order to form the images of interest. The ubiquitous availability of fast computing platforms (such as multi-core CPUs and GPUs), the advances in algorithms and modern sensing hardware is resulting in imaging systems with significantly enhanced capabilities.
What can computational imaging do for you?
- Improve depth of field to keep objects in focus
- Enhance dynamic range to "see" detail in both bright and dark image regions
- Enhance the contrast of features of interest, while diminishing contrast of background
- Improve resolution by fitting together multiple images into a larger composite
- Build 3D images from 2D scans (as in the case of building CT images from x-ray scans)
