Some topics will require concepts from elementary probability and statistics (like mean and variance), but I define these concepts in lecture. I also make use of matrix algebra, but only at the level of matrix multiplication. Finally, an exposure to digital signal processing or Fourier analysis will give you a better intuition for some topics, but it is not required.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewImage.png\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/NewImage-15.png\" alt=\"NewImage\" width=\"599\" height=\"326\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/y7HrM-fk_Rc\">YouTube<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.openculture.com\/2016\/09\/an-introduction-to-digital-photography-take-a-free-course-from-stanford-profgoogle-researcher-marc-levoy.html\">Via<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Levoy has been one of the key leaders behind Google\u2019s recent advances in computational photography, including portrait mode &amp; HDR+.
