Computational Imaging

Computational imaging is a blend of imaging techniques and computer science that enhances or creates images using algorithms and computational methods. It involves capturing data from images and processing it through mathematical models to improve quality, extract information, or generate new visual perspectives. For example, it can be used in medical imaging to provide clearer scans or in photography to enhance low-light pictures. Essentially, computational imaging uses computer power to make images better or to reveal details that might not be visible with traditional imaging methods.
