Computational Cameras and Displays

Introduction

Computational photography has become an increasingly active area of research within the computer vision community. Within the few last years, the amount of research has grown tremendously with dozens of published papers per year in a variety of vision, optics, and graphics venues. A similar trend can be seen in the emerging field of computational displays – spurred by the widespread availability of precise optical and material fabrication technologies, the research community has begun to investigate the joint design of display optics and computational processing. Such displays are not only designed for human observers but also for computer vision applications, providing high-dimensional structured illumination that varies in space, time, angle, and the color spectrum. This workshop is designed to unite the computational camera and display communities in that it considers to what degree concepts from computational cameras can inform the design of emerging computational displays and vice versa, both focused on applications in computer vision.

The Computational Cameras and Displays (CCD) workshop series serves as an annual gathering place for researchers and practitioners who design, build, and use computational cameras, displays, and imaging systems for a wide variety of uses. The workshop solicits posters and demo submissions on all topics relating to computational imaging systems.

Previous CCD Workshops: CCD2023, CCD2022, CCD2021, CCD2020, CCD2019, CCD2018, CCD2017, CCD2016, CCD2015, CCD2014, CCD2013, CCD2012
