Computation will change photography. The sensor no longer has to record the final image, but only data that can lead to the final image. Computation can solve longstanding photographic problems (e.g. deblurring) and well as open the door for radical new designs and capabilities for image capture, processing, and viewing (e.g. lightfield cameras). Many of these possibilities offer great machine learning problems, and much of the progress in computational photography will rely on solutions to these challenging machine learning problems. We have gathered 5 leading researchers in this new field to describe their work at the intersection of photography and machine learning.
