Next seminar will be Oct. 27th 9:45 in R148 (access through R147) there are still topics available and interested students are welcome to join. 

Gitlab repo (with articles and slides) can be found at: https://git.scc.kit.edu/no2853/AdvancedTopicsinVisualComputing.WS_16_17.git

Topics for this year's seminar focus on computational photography and cameras which are defined as follows: 

'Computational photography extends digital photography by providing the capability to record much more information and by offering the possibility of processing this information afterward'. (Oliver Bimber)

'Computational cameras use unconventional optics and software to produce new forms of visual information, including wide field-of-view images, high dynamic range images, multispectral images, and depth images. Using a controllable optical system to form the image and a programmable light source as the camera’s flash can further enhance the capabilities of these cameras'. (Shree Nayar)

With the arrival of Virtual and Augmented Reality display devices both topics recently became more relevant in demand for believable and high quality content.
