Image for Computational Optical Imaging

Computational Optical Imaging

Computational Optical Imaging combines traditional imaging techniques with advanced computational methods to capture and enhance images. It uses principles from Fourier optics, which studies how light waves behave, to analyze and recreate images. By digitally processing the light information collected through lenses, this approach allows for improved image quality, resolution, and depth perception. It’s widely used in various fields, such as medical imaging and astronomy, enabling clearer views of complex structures, even those that are otherwise difficult to see, by leveraging algorithms to extract valuable details from the light data.
