Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Artificial lights commonly leave strong lens flare artifacts on images captured at night.
Nighttime flare not only affects the visual quality but also degrades the performance of vision …

Computational imaging systems algorithmically post-process acquisition images either to
reveal physical quantities of interest or to increase image quality, eg, deblurring. Designing …

Interstellar is the first Hollywood movie to attempt depicting a black hole as it would actually
be seen by somebody nearby. For this, our team at Double Negative Visual Effects, in …

Reflective flare is a phenomenon that occurs when light reflects inside lenses, causing bright
spots or a" ghosting effect" in photos, which can impact their quality. Eliminating reflective …

When a camera is pointed at a strong light source, the resulting photograph may contain
lens flare artifacts. Flares appear in a wide variety of patterns (halos, streaks, color bleeding …

Causally-taken images often suffer from flare artifacts, due to the unintended reflections and
scattering of light inside the camera. However, as flares may appear in a variety of shapes …

The surface of metal, glass and plastic objects is often characterized by microscopic
scratches caused by manufacturing and/or wear. A closer look onto such scratches reveals …

Introduction Positive dysphotopsia (PD) is a topic of great interest in intraocular lens (IOL)
field. Several approaches have been developed from the physics, psychophysics and …

Vision-simulated imagery―the process of generating images that mimic the human visual
system―is a valuable tool with a wide spectrum of possible applications, including visual …
