Computer Science Professor Shree Nayar and Makoto Odamaki,a visiting scientist from Ricoh Corporation, occupy developed Cambits, or a modular imaging system that enables the user to create a wide range of computational cameras. Cambits comprises a set of colorful plastic blocks of five different types—sensors,light sources, actuators, and lenses,and optical attachments. The blocks can easily be assembled to develop a variety of cameras with different functionalities such as high dynamic range imaging, panoramic imaging, and refocusing,light field imaging, depth imaging using stereo, or kaleidoscopic imaging and even microscopy.
