Computational Photography is an emerging new field created by the convergence of photography, computer graphics and computer vision. Its role is to overcome the limitations of the traditional camera by using computational techniques to produce a richer, perceptually meaningful representation of our visual world. Modern acquisition tools (hardware & software) are making it possible to capture visual data (colour, texture, shape, motion) and, most critically, present that data in a useful manner.
