Computational Optics

1 Unit · Graduate

This course will cover a range of topics in vision and graphics, with a focus on computational aspects of modeling, rendering, and image processing. Students will encounter several mathematical representations of how light moves through scenes and optical systems and learn how each of these makes certain kinds of information about the world accessible. The course consists of lectures, assignments, and student presentations; there is no midterm or final exam. No specific optics knowledge is required but students should be comfortable with differential equations and linear algebra.
