This subject qualifies as a Artificial Intelligence and Applications Engineering Concentration subject.

Advanced topics class on image formation by computational means.

Compute-intensive methods can produce images from raw data that may be considered to be in some coded form. Such image construction typically involves inversion of an operation that is simple in the forward direction. Since computing is becoming cheaper and faster, replacing optics, or electromagnetic apparatus, or electronics with computing can be a driving force in some such image forming applications.

Examples to be covered include:

Coded Aperture Imaging;

Synthetic Aperture Microscopy;

Diaphanography or "Diffuse Optical Tomography";

Exact Cone Beam Reconstruction
