Computational Optical Imaging

Enrollment Requirements: Undergraduate Prerequisite: (CASMA 242 or CASMA 442 or ENGEK 103) and (CASCS 111 or ENGEK 122 or ENGEK 125) and (ENGBE 403 or ENGEC 401); Graduate Prerequisite: Graduate Standing Recent years have seen the growth of computational optical imaging - optical imaging systems that tightly integrate hardware and computation. The results are the emergence of many new imaging capabilities, such as 3D, super resolution, and extended depth of field. Computational optical imaging systems have a wide range of applications in consumer photography, scientific and biomedical imaging, microscopy, defense, security and remote sensing. This course looks at this new design approach as it is applied to modern optical imaging, with a focus on the tools and techniques at the convergence of physical optical modeling, and signal processing.
