The Deep Learning in Computational Photography
------------------------------

The Computational Photography is a new and rapidly developing subject. By
integrating a variety of technologies such as digital sensors, optical
systems, intelligent lighting, signal processing, computer vision, and
machine learning, computational photography aims at improving the
traditional imaging technology, in which an image is formed directly at
sensors. The joint force Computational Photography enhances and extends the
data acquisition capabilities of traditional digital cameras, and captures
the full range of real-world scene information.

With rapidly advancing hardware, some studies use highly curved image
sensors to improve optical performance, some try to optimize the micro-lens
array-based light field camera systems, the others propose fundamentally
new imaging modalities for depth cameras. Despite that new sensing
technologies are able to provide better image quality even richer
information, cost constraints often limit large scale applications of such
technologies.  Instead, learning-based computational photography techniques
demonstrate a potential capability of enhancing the camera systems without
requiring a significate upgrade of hardware.  Recently, deep neural
networks have shown their superior performance in the imaging computation.
They can either learn a complex imaging mechanism in a low-light
environment, detect objects to strengthen the focus function and depth
estimation, or enhance the degraded images captured in bad work conditions,
just to name a few.

The objective of this special issue is to provide a forum for researchers
to share their recent progresses on deep learning for computation
photography. Papers could cover broad aspects from both theoretical and
engineering perspectives, including DNN techniques for modeling, DNN
algorithms for image reconstruction, and novel DNN designs for
computational imaging in various spectral regimes, such as optical,
multi-spectrum, ultrasound, microwave regimes, and so on. Contributions are
also welcome concerning applications using computational photography, from
fundamental science to applied research.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

   - Computational imaging methods and models
   - Computational illumination
   - Computational image processing
   - Multi-spectral imaging, SAR imaging, medical imaging and their
   processing
   - Post-processing in computational photography
   - Degraded image enhancement
   - Aesthetics captioning
   - Image recovery from compressed sensing
   - Image generation through domain learning
   - Applications, including natural, medical, remote sensing research.
