Welcome to DVn blogging!
We are going to find the best information about computational imaging from around the world and share it here.
Making images better, by using computing is the wave of the present and shows unlimited potential for the future development. We will see 2D and 3d image art and entertainment, morph into many new realms, most of which were a fantasy just 10 years ago. 2D imaging is becoming 2.5D, while 3D can become 3.5D. What a great time to live in!
Today, content creators and distributors are just beginning to find that there are a huge number of untapped ways to explore and express depth and vibrant realism. Each of which has inherent challenges and benefits.
SD TV content creators and distributors are pushing the envelope of post processing to make SD a more visually engaging experience. An experience that can better compete with the eye popping improvement of the HD image. SD on TV, has been pushing contrast, color, focus and scene composition into realms that would have been thought of as garish, just a few years ago. Watch some Nickelodeon and Cartoon channel on cable and you will see some amazing combinations of imaging techniques that are pushing the limits in great new ways.
Movies are going the same route and have huge challenges. I recently saw the “Transformers” movie in a DLP digitally equipt theatre. It was an astonishingly good presentation. Conversely, I saw an IMAX presentation of “Harry Potter – Order of The Phoenix” and I was less than impressed, due to what appeared to me as a very inconsistently successful attempt to harness a myriad of digital effects and processing. It led to what I would describe as a visual smorgashboard that had a lack of quality cohesiveness.
Computational imaging for all of “photography” capture and display is about to turn another corner. We can capture millions/billions of colors, we can display billions of colors. Additionally, now with multi-lensing, we can capture potentially billions of planes of image information that we can display in a virtually infinite number of display planes. What a challenge to content creators, as our new era of computational image content creation has been ushered in with an exponentional explosion of possibilities.
I am looking forward to depositing great information and look forward to your discussion on this blog.
