In a relatively short period of time, the digital camera has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. The pace at which innovations are being made in this area is remarkable. The exciting aspect is that there is much more to come. In this talk, we review the evolution of digital cameras from camera obscura to film to digital to mobile. Along the way, we identify events that precipitated the change to a digital photography ecosystem. We briefly discuss practices and assumptions that are prevalent in the scientific community and look at a few signal processing solutions that we have developed over the years for problems in digital photography. Using these examples we demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of digital camera image processing. We present recent results to show the progress that has been achieved in computational photography on mobile cameras and conclude with challenges and opportunities.
