Code and Data

	Halide Writing fast image processing pipelines is hard, because you need to simultaneously optimize for parallelism and locality (memory bandwidth). This usually wrecks the modularity, portability, and readability of your code, because it involves fusing all your pipeline stages into one architecture-specific monolithic mess. Trying alternative optimizations is then very painful, because it requires rearranging huge chunks of code and then fixing the bugs you inevitably introduced. Halide makes it easier to explore possible optimizations by separating the specification of the algorithm from the specification of the "schedule", which defines what gets computed when and where it is stored. Halide is described in this SIGGRAPH 2012 paper. The compiler is open source, and can be found here. We welcome contributions and bug reports.
	ImageStack ImageStack is a command-line stack calculator for images that I have been slowly building up. It's a swiss-army knife for computational photography, with resampling, image arithmetic, alignment, gradient-domain operators, a wide variety of efficient linear and non-linear filters, wavelet transforms, Fourier transforms, deconvolution operators, and even some light field operators. Thanks to the help of the students in CS448f it also includes implementations of some recent SIGGRAPH papers. It's great in scripts, and you can also link to it as a library. Recently it has begun to include some metaprogramming tricks backported from Halide, so some routines are quite fast.
	The FCam camera control API for the Nokia N900 We think you should be able to program your camera. This API turns your Nokia N900 into a programmable camera. It replaces key kernel drivers and disables the existing user-space daemons that mess with the sensor settings behind your back. This lets you easily program your N900 to take exactly the shots you want at the maximum possible frame rate. We've used this API with success teaching grad students computational photography, and it's the same API we use on the Frankencamera. The architecture behind this API is described in full in our SIGGRAPH 2010 paper.
	Fast High-Dimensional Bilateral Filtering If you're looking for CPU or CUDA implementations of the Gaussian KD-Tree or the permutohedral lattice you can find them at their paper webpages here and here respectively. The CPU implementations have also been integrated into ImageStack, which you may find more convenient. My dissertation contains simple annotated versions of the code as appendices.
	The Stanford Light Field Archive This is our collection of light fields acquired with camera array, gantry, and light field microscope. Feel free to use any of the light fields on this page in your research (with credit). Also includes my light field viewing applet. To capture your own similar light fields all you need is a camera and some lego.
	Photography Applets Nora Willett, Katie Dektar, Marc Levoy and I made a range of applets to help teach concepts in photography for the digital photography course CS178. They explore topics in optics, color, and image processing. If you like those, you may also enjoy my Toy optical bench applet. Drag the components in the upper left into the middle to place them. Shift-drag objects to rotate and scale them. Alt-drag objects to change their aspect ratio (this is how you change the power of a lens).
