Marc Levoy, professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University, leads a research team exploring news ways to empower everyday cameras with computational photography, which uses advanced algorithms and processing to take imaging far beyond simply replacing a camera’s film with a digital sensor. Levoy talks about his “Frankencamera” project, a fully programmable camera that embodies the ideal of capture devices that are open, and can be customized, expanded, and upgraded.
