Mult-camera synthetic imaging

这位博士生将对计算成像中的新概念进行研究。这涉及到成像科学、光学设计的新概念和用于生成图像的计算机算法的融合。多相机成像可用于实现成像中的全新功能，例如通过遮挡进行成像、提高分辨率或使用高度微型化、几乎平坦或具有特定形状的共形相机模块进行成像。这是使用新兴的计算成像概念实现的，其中成像系统是由新型光学系统与图像的计算生成相结合的融合而产生的；也就是说，计算对于图像生成是必不可少的，而在探测器上形成的图像只是一个中间步骤，甚至可能无法识别为图像。该项目的目标将是开发使用多相机计算成像的根本新型成像系统。学生将研究获取和编码图像信息的新技术-主要是利用使用多个不同相机的灵活性，这些相机可以灵活地集成到特定的体积或形状中。将开发和应用算法来恢复高质量的图像。该项目将涉及光学设计方案Zemax中的建模，算法开发将使用高级编程语言。学生设计的原型光学系统将由学生在格拉斯哥的ICG实验室进行实验开发和评估。预计开发的技术将转让给我们的行业合作伙伴MBDA。这项研究与EPSRC制造21世纪产品的未来优先事项保持一致，特别是首次实现高分辨率相机的共形集成，并展示了新的3D成像模式。

The PhD student will conduct research into new concepts in computational imaging. This involves the fusion of imaging science, new concepts in optical design and computer algorithms for generation of images. Multiple-camera imaging can be used to achieve fundamentally new capabilities in imaging, such as imaging through obscurations, with enhanced resolution or imaging using camera modules that are highly miniaturised, almost flat or conformal with particular shapes . This is achieved using the emerging concepts of computational imaging where imaging systems result from a fusion of novel optical systems combined with computational generation of images; that is computation is essential for image generation and the 'image' formed on detectors is simply an intermediate step and may not even be recognisable as an image.The aim of this project will be to develop fundamentally new imaging systems employing multiple-camera computational imaging . The student will research new techniques for acquiring and encoding image information - primarily exploiting the flexibility of employing multiple dissimilar cameras that may be integrated flexibly into specific volumes or shapes. Algorithms will be developed and applied for recovery of high-quality images. The project will involve modelling in the optical-design programme Zemax and algorithm development will be in a high-level programming language. Prototype optical systems designed by the student will be developed and assessed by experimentally by the student in the ICG labs in Glasgow. It is envisaged that the technologies developed will be transferred to our industry partner, MBDA.This research aligns with EPSRC Manufacturing the Future priorities for developing 21st Century products - in particular the conformal integration of high-resolution cameras for the first time and for demonstrating new 3D imaging modalities.
