Advanced Topics in Computer Science: Imaging the Invisible

This course explores topics at the frontiers of imaging where algorithms promise super-human vision by extracting information deeply hidden in measurements. We focus on today's capture challenges, including harsh environmental conditions, ultra-fast or slow time scales, extreme scene scales and imaging via proxies using objects in the scene as cameras instead. We discuss how co-designing components in a vision system can enable us to tackle these challenges. Students are expected to present recent research work, with attention on developing oral and written scientific communication skills.
