1. Epsilon Photography– Low-level vision: Pixels– Multi-photos by perturbing camera parameters– HDR, panorama, …– ‘Ultimate camera’

2. Coded Photography– Single/few snapshot– Reversible encoding of data– Additional sensors/optics/illum– ‘Scene analysis’ : (Consumer software?)

3. Essence Photography– Beyond single view/illum– Not mimic human eye– ‘New art form’


1. Epsilon Photography– Low-level Vision: Pixels– Multiphotos by perturbing camera parameters– HDR, panorama– ‘Ultimate camera’

2. Coded Photography– Mid-Level Cues:

• Regions, Edges, Motion, Direct/global– Single/few snapshot

• Reversible encoding of data– Additional sensors/optics/illum– ‘Scene analysis’
