MSR Symposium on Computational Photography: Session 3 [1/2]
Computational Photography and Bilateral Image Decomposition; Frédo Durand - Massachusetts Institute of Technology: This talk describes new imaging architectures as well as software techniques that leverage computation to facilitate the extraction of information and enhance images. In particular, I will describe the use of a bilateral decomposition of images into a large-scale and a detail component using an edge-preserving approach. I will describe a variety of techniques that build on such decomposition for tone mapping, relighting, style transfer and flash photography.  Finally, I will describe a new data structure, the bilateral grid, which naturally enables edge-preserving image manipulations by lifting images into a higher-dimensional space.
