Mid-term Exam Preparation

Structure

• 2 hours
• Open book
  • But don't just print all the slides
• Types of questions
  • Emphasis on testing concepts
  • Draw a diagram to explain X
  • Very simple calculations
  • Comparisons
  • Open ended questions (essay)
  • Homework insights
• Preparation
  • Read all the slides
  • Read related papers: look at 'contributions', 'limitations', 'future work' and 'conclusions' sections carefully

Topics

• Modern optics and lenses, ray-matrix operations, lightfields
• Fourier optics, wavefront coding
• Digital illumination, multiflash and hadamard coded
• Emerging sensors: 3D range sensor
• Beyond visible spectrum: multispectral imaging and thermal sensors, sonar imaging
• Image reconstruction techniques, deconvolution, deblurring, tomography, heterodyned photography, compressive sensing
• Cameras for Human Computer Interaction (HCI): 0-D and 1-D sensors, spatio-temporal coding, frustrated TIR
• Useful techniques in scientific and medical imaging: CT-scans, astronomy and long range imaging
