Week 2 - Image formation

How does a physical camera work and how can we describe it mathematically?

 

    Lecture 2: Image formation

    In this first week with pre-recorded lectures we will give an overview over how the forward imaging process works, and how we can apply convenient mathematical theory to model it.

    Topics

    • Light, camera, optics and colour (video |?pdf)
    • The perspective camera model (video | pdf)
    • Basic projective geometry (video |?pdf)

    Lab 2: Transformations with Eigen or NumPy

    We will in this lab get some experience with image transformations using the Eigen library in C++ and the NumPy library in Python.
