Abstract
Abstract

Conventional photographic imaging technologies fix the time, interval, and gain of an exposure at the instant of capture, spoiling images if these parameters are not correctly anticipated. Techniques, such as TDCI (Time-Domain Continuous Imaging) allow the integration of an image to be decoupled from the capture of scene data, creating an opportunity to not only adjust the timing and gain of an image after the fact, but manipulate those parameters in previously impossible ways. To facilitate exploration of these new dimensional freedoms, we have created NUTIK, a tool which allows scene data to be captured and computationally post-processed to expose images with user control over the time interval being sampled and the gain of integration, not just for each image rendered but for every site in each rendered image. This paper documents the design and operation of NUTIK, and makes an initial exploration of useful and interesting new photographic techniques enabled by such a tool.
