Set of digital image capture and processing techniques

Computational photography refers to digital image capture and processing techniques that use digital computation instead of optical processes. Computational photography can improve the capabilities of a camera, or introduce features that were not possible at all with film based photography, or reduce the cost or size of camera elements. Examples of computational photography include in camera computation of digital panoramas, high dynamic range images, and light field cameras. Light field cameras use novel optical elements to capture three dimensional scene information which can then be used to produce 3D images, enhanced depth of field, and selective de focusing (or "post focus"). Enhanced depth of field reduces the need for mechanical focusing systems. All of these features use computational imaging techniques. The definition of computational photography has evolved to cover a number of
subject areas in computer graphics, computer vision, and applied
optics. These areas are given below, organized according to a taxonomy
proposed by Shree K. Nayar. Within each area is a list of techniques, and for
each technique one or two representative papers or books are cited. Deliberately omitted from the
taxonomy are image processing (see also digital image processing)
techniques applied to traditionally captured
images in order to produce better images. Examples of such techniques are
image scaling, dynamic range compression (i. e. tone mapping),
color management, image completion (a. k. a. inpainting or hole filling),
image compression, digital watermarking, and artistic image effects. Also omitted are techniques that produce range data,
volume data, 3D models, 4D light fields,
4D, 6D, or 8D BRDFs, or other high dimensional image based representations. Epsilon photography is a sub field of computational photography.

Photos taken using computational photography can allow amateurs to produce photographs rivalling the quality of professional photographers, but as of as of 2019 do not outperform the use of professional level equipment.

This is capture of optically coded images, followed by computational decoding to produce new images. Coded aperture imaging was mainly applied in astronomy or X ray imaging to boost the image quality. Instead of a single pin hole, a pinhole pattern is applied in imaging, and deconvolution is performed to recover the image. In coded exposure imaging, the on/off state of the shutter is coded to modify the kernel of motion blur. In this way motion deblurring becomes a well conditioned problem. Similarly, in a lens based coded aperture, the aperture can be modified by inserting a broadband mask. Thus, out of focus deblurring becomes a well conditioned problem. The coded aperture can also improve the quality in light field acquisition using Hadamard transform optics. Coded aperture patterns can also be designed using color filters, in order to apply different codes at different wavelengths. This allows to increase the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor, compared to binary masks.

Computational imaging is a set of imaging techniques that combine data acquisition and data processing to create the image of an object through indirect means to yield enhanced resolution, additional information such as optical phase or 3D reconstruction. The information is often recorded without using a conventional optical microscope configuration or with limited datasets. Computational imaging allows to go beyond physical limitations of optical systems, such as numerical aperture, or even obliterates the need for optical elements. For parts of the optical spectrum where imaging elements such as objectives are difficult to manufacture or image sensors cannot be miniaturized, computational imaging provides useful alternatives, in fields such as X ray and THz radiations.

Among common computational imaging techniques are lensless imaging, computational speckle imaging, ptychography and Fourier ptychography. Computational imaging technique often draws on compressive sensing or phase retrieval techniques, where the angular spectrum of the object is being reconstructed. Other techniques are related to the field of computational imaging, such as digital holography, computer vision and inverse problems such as tomography.

This is processing of non optically coded images to produce new images.

These are detectors that combine sensing and processing, typically in hardware, like the oversampled binary image sensor.

Computational photography, as an art form, has been practiced by capture of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter, and combining them together. This was the inspiration for the development of the wearable computer in the 1970s and early 1980s. Computational photography was inspired by the work of Charles Wyckoff, and thus computational photography datasets (e. g. differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter that are taken in order to make a single composite image) are sometimes referred to as Wyckoff Sets, in his honor. Early work in this area (joint estimation of image projection and exposure value) was undertaken by Mann and Candoccia. Charles Wyckoff devoted much of his life to creating special kinds of 3 layer photographic films that captured different exposures of the same subject matter. A picture of a nuclear explosion, taken on Wyckoff's film, appeared on the cover of Life Magazine and showed the dynamic range from dark outer areas to inner core.
