'Light Field Camera' Banishes Fuzzy Photos

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
STANFORD, Calif., Nov. 8 -- Computer scientists are bringing photographic technology into sharper focus. Ren Ng, a Stanford University computer science graduate student in the lab of Pat Hanrahan, the Canon USA professor in the school of engineering, has developed a "light field camera" capable of producing photographs in which subjects at every depth appear finely tuned. Adapted from a conventional camera, the light field camera overcomes low-light and high-speed conditions that often plague photograph and foreshadows potential improvements to scientific microscopy, security surveillance,...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
