Talk Abstract:   The in-camera processing pipeline used in modern consumer cameras (e.g., DSLR and smartphone cameras) is essentially the same design used in early digital consumer cameras from the 1990s. While this original design has stood the test of time, there are many areas in which the current pipeline can be improved. Moreover, with the integration of cameras in our smartphones, there are increasing demands to have cameras operate as scientific imaging devices instead of photographic devices. This talk will describe several recent works addressing limitations in the current camera pipeline and ideas for designing a dual proposed pipeline suitable for both photographic and scientific applications.
