Progress in optics and information technologies promotes an emerging research field for imaging called
computational imaging. Owing to combinatorial diversity of optical encoding and computational
decoding, various kinds of high-functional and high-performance imaging are developed as a framework
of computational imaging. Fundamental reasons of the active development of the technology are not
only tremendous increase of computational power but also availability of efficient optical devices, such
as a microlens array for light field acquisition/display and spatial light modulators for light distribution
control. This special issue intends to provide an overview of this research field including light field
imaging/display, digital holography, novel phase imaging, and single pixel imaging. Marriage of optics
as a physical system and a current information technology is considered as quite modernized and
promising. This special issue is expected to show a signpost for the readers requiring unconventional
imaging methodologies.
