Guest Editorial: Introduction to the Special Section on Computational Photography

Yoav Y. Schechner, Kavita Bala, Ori Katz, Kalyan Sunkavalli, Ko Nishino

Abstract: The papers in this special section focus on computational photography. The past year has been significant in many ways. For the scientific community of computational photography, we have a hybrid in-person conference, one of the first in the vision/optics/graphics community post-pandemic. Further, we expanded our community to better include the physical optics community. This move was made consciously to strengthen and expand the span of computational photography and make these different, yet closely related communities, have a common venue to share ideas. This expansion we believe has significantly enriched the papers submitted to this special issue, through the IEEE International Conference on Computational Photography (ICCP’2021).
