Computer Vision and Computer Grpahics

Computer vision is really about trying ro take imagery of the real world and infer things like what’s the geometry of it and also the apperance and photometric inferences of the things. So basically from 2D world we’re trying to infer more things about the 3D scene.

Computer graphics on the other hand is abour taking this kind of stuff and generatign nice 3,2D images. kind of inverse of CV.

Both of them are essential in our understanding of computational photography. Because we want to leverage both processes, because we’re interested in analyzing, but we’re also interested in capturing information in the real world.

Image processing and optics also play a role in all of this. So for example, we want to do things like image processing to both knowing what the kind of camera we’re using or how we want to display it.

But, on the other hand optics and sensors help us design better sensors and displays and the kind of stuff we want to to do capture the environment.

All of these four, computer vision, computer graphics, image processing, and optics and sensors are widely used fields and computational photography leverages all of the them. It also now has begun to leverage other disciplines like machine learning and robotics
