Pinhole Photography

Pinhole Mask Sensor a Pinhole Mask Sensor

Figure 1 shows an example of a light field camera with a pinhole mask in front of the sensor. If we look at the sensor in 1D and assume an total x-resolution of 900 pixels and a Θ resolution of 9, the local x resolution is 100. The disadvantages are therefore a loss in resolution and a loss of light, as most of the light gets blocked by the mask. Therefore, while this model is very clean on a t...

Computational Photography: Epsilon to Coded Photography

Computational photography combines plentiful computing, digital sensors, modern optics, actuators, and smart lights to escape the limitations of traditional cameras, enables novel imaging applications and simplifies many computer vision tasks. However, a majority of current Computational photography methods involves taking multiple sequential photos by changing scene parameters and fusing the p...

Imaging beyond the Pinhole Camera

The world’s first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicphore Niépce (1775–1833) in 1826 on his country estate near Chalon-sur-Sane, France. The photo shows parts of farm buildings and some sky. Exposure time was eight hours. Niépce used a pinhole camera, known as camera obscura, and utilized pewter plates as the support medium for the photographic process. The camera obscura, the basic projection ...
