Resumen
While the first digital cameras were bulky, possessed few features, and captured images that were of dubious quality, digital cameras today pack an enormous array of features and technologies into small designs. However, researchers working in the emerging area of computational photography -- a movement that draws on computer vision, computer graphics, and applied optics -- say the next major breakthroughs in digital photography will be in how images are captured and processed. One of the major issues that those working in computational photography face is testing their developments on real-world cameras. It would be nicer if they could program the camera, says Marc Levoy, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University. But as with any advanced technologies that have interfaces designed to be used by humans, one of the major challenges for computational photography is usability.
