Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

It is recommended to finish the following modules before starting this module:

Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen (WS 2021/2022)

Inhalt:

Never in human history have we been able to record so much of our environment in so little time with such high quality. Since the rise of smartphones, nearly everyone carries a powerful camera with them in their daily lives. This module introduces the theoretical and practical aspects of modern photography and capture algorithms: universal models of colour, computer-controlled cameras, lighting and shape capture.
The lecture covers the following topics:

• Cameras, sensors and colour

• Image processing (e.g., blending, warping)

• Radiometry

• Appearance acquisition

• Structured-light 3D acquisition

• Image-based and video-based rendering

Assessment: The grade results from the successful completion of a total of four exercises. These determine 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the final grade. In the exercises, practical problems from the field of computational photography and capture are to be solved independently by self-written programs. In addition to the programs, the generated results and a short written explanation of the most important parts of the program must be handed in.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
