A Non-Photo Realistic Camera
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 07:14 AM
"I recently visited Ramesh Raskar at the Mitsubishi Electrical Research (MERL) lab in Cambridge, MA to learn more about his multi-flash camera innovation that recently made an impressive appearance at the SIGGRAPH 2004...The multi-flash camera captures real life images and renders them in a non-photorealistic line-form. Ramesh Raskar describes this process as computational photography. Raskar modestly insists that while "it's something you can't do with film, it certainly is not a replacement for photography, or Photoshop for that matter". Non-photorealistic imaging is an easy way to convey ideas/images and has myriad applications for technical and medical imaging."
The driving force behind digital imaging for years has been the capture of the most realistic, true-to-life image possible. Now that we've achieved that, some researchers are looking towards other types of image capture - in this case, a multi-flash system with post-processing that has some very interesting results.
