290I - Mobile Imaging

Mobile imaging is becoming increasingly important in computer- and communication-related fields. As the computational power and bandwidth of mobile devices increase, more and more use is being made of images, video, and 3D in a wide range of applications and environments. Mobile computing and imaging are central to communications, entertainment, human-computer interaction, medicine, meteorology, space exploration, etc. In this course, we will explore the digital imaging process, from light and image formation to image processing to display systems; the constraints and opportunities afforded by the mobile computing environment; and a range of applications and techniques relevant to state-of-the-art mobile imaging. Students will complete a group mobile imaging project and present related research to the class.
