CS 194-26: Computational Photography (Fall 2018)

Project 2: Building a Pinhole Camera

Vivek Jain, CS196-26-adj

Overview

We used 0.1mm, 3mm, and 5mm as our pinhole diameters. We had a digital camera that could do 30 seconds of exposure time. After taking 2 pictures with each pinhole, we determined that the best diameter was 0.1mm, which makes sense as the smaller the diameter, the less blurry it will be due to lack of stray photons from a larger diameter.
