Purpose

The IASTED International Conference on Computational Photography (CPhoto 2011) will be a major forum for international researchers and practitioners interested in all areas of computational photography. This conference will offer the opportunity to both present and to observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee and related technical committees. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and references. The conference chair makes the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of a paper.
