【Computational Photography】Udacity LESSON 1 01-01 Introduction

春天的花是冬天的梦

---

Computational Photography is an emerging new field created by the convergence of computer graphics, computer vision and photography. Its role is to overcome the limitations of the traditional camera by using computational techniques to produce a richer, more vivid, perhaps more perceptually meaningful representation of our visual world. I will take notes for Computational Photography from Udacity in this series, main content is shown as follow.
