  1. Cameras Digital Visual Effects, Spring 2005 Yung-Yu Chuang 2005/3/2 with slides by Brian Curless, Steve Seitz and Alexei Efros

  2. Announcements • Classroom is changed to Room101 • Assignment schedule • Image morphing (3/9-3/30) • Image stitching (3/30-4/20) • Matchmove (4/20-5/11) • Final project (5/11-6/22) • Scribe • Send cyy@csie.ntu.edu.tw to subscribe vfx

  3. Outline • Pinhole camera • Film camera • Digital camera • Video camera • High dynamic range imaging

  4. Camera trial #1 film scene Put a piece of film in front of an object.

  5. barrier Pinhole camera pinhole camera film scene Add a barrier to block off most of the rays. • It reduces blurring • The pinhole is known as the aperture • The image is inverted

  6. Shrinking the aperture Why not make the aperture as small as possible? • Less light gets through • Diffraction effect

  7. Shrinking the aperture

  8. Camera Obscura Drawing from “The Great Art of Light and Shadow “ Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, 1646.

  9. High-end commercial pinhole cameras http://www.bobrigby.com/html/pinhole.html

  10. Adding a lens

  11. “circle of confusion” Adding a lens lens film scene A lens focuses light onto the film • There is a specific distance at which objects are “in focus” • other points project to a “circle of confusion” in the image

  12. Lenses • Any object point satisfying this equation is in focus • Thin lens applet: http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/Lens/lens_e.html Thin lens equation:

  13. Exposure = aperture + shutter speed • Aperture of diameter D restricts the range of rays (aperture may be on either side of the lens) • Shutter speed is the amount of light is allowed to pass through the aperture F

  14. Aperture • Aperture is usually specified by f-stop, f/D. When a change in f-stop occurs, the light is either doubled or cut in half. • Lower f-stop, more light (larger lens opening) • Higher f-stop, less light (smaller lens opening)

  15. Depth of field Changing the aperture size affects depth of field. A smaller aperture increases the range in which the object is approximately in focus See http://www.photonhead.com/simcam/

  16. Distortion • Radial distortion of the image • Caused by imperfect lenses • Deviations are most noticeable for rays that pass through the edge of the lens No distortion Pin cushion Barrel

  17. Correcting radial distortion from Helmut Dersch

  18. Film camera aperture & shutter lens & motor film scene

  19. Digital camera aperture & shutter • A digital camera replaces film with a sensor array • Each cell in the array is a light-sensitive diode that converts photons to electrons sensor array lens & motor scene

  20. CCD v.s. CMOS • CCD is less susceptible to noise (special process, higher fill factor) • CMOS is more flexible, less expensive (standard process), less power consumption CCD CMOS

  21. Sensor noise • Blooming • Diffusion • Dark current • Photon shot noise • Amplifier readout noise

  22. Color So far, we’ve only talked about monochrome sensors. Color imaging has been implemented in a number of ways: • Field sequential • Multi-chip • Color filter array • X3 sensor

  23. Field sequential

  24. Field sequential

  25. Field sequential

  26. Lantern projector Prokudin-Gorskii (early 1990’s) http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/

  27. Prokudin-Gorskii (early 1990’s)

  28. wavelength dependent Multi-chip

  29. Embedded color filters Color filters can be manufactured directly onto the photodetectors.

  30. Kodak DCS620x Color filter array Color filter arrays (CFAs)/color filter mosaics

  31. Bayer pattern Color filter array Color filter arrays (CFAs)/color filter mosaics

  32. Bayer’s pattern

  33. original input linear interpolation Demosaicking CFA’s bilinear interpolation

  34. Demosaicking CFA’s Constant hue-based interpolation (Cok) Hue: Interpolate G first

  35. Demosaicking CFA’s Median-based interpolation (Freeman) 1. Linear interpolation 2. Median filter on color differences

  36. original input color difference median filter reconstruction Demosaicking CFA’s Median-based interpolation (Freeman) linear interpolation

  37. Demosaicking CFA’s Gradient-based interpolation (LaRoche-Prescott) 1. Interpolation on G

  38. Demosaicking CFA’s Gradient-based interpolation (LaRoche-Prescott) 2. Interpolation of color differences

  39. Demosaicking CFA’s bilinear Cok Freeman LaRoche

  40. Demosaicking CFA’s Generally, Freeman’s is the best, especially for natural images.

  41. Foveon X3 sensor • light penetrates to different depths for different wavelengths • multilayer CMOS sensor gets 3 different spectral sensitivities

  42. Foveon X3 sensor Bayer CFA X3 sensor

  43. Color processing • After color values are recorded, more color processing usually happens: • White balance • Non-linearity to approximate film response or match TV monitor gamma

  44. White Balance warmer +3 automatic white balance

  45. Manual white balance white balance with the white book white balance with the red book

  46. Autofocus • Active • Sonar • Infrared • Passive

  47. Digital camera review website • http://www.dpreview.com/

  48. Camcorder

  49. Interlacing without interlacing with interlacing

  50. deinterlacing weave blend
