Computational Photography Advances a Long-Loved Art
Photography has existed for over 150 years, and photography has been a hobby everyone could enjoy for around 100. The term “computational photography,” (also called “computational imaging”) of course, is a much more modern term that goes far beyond what traditional photography has to offer.
