Columbia Engineering researchers, including research engineer Daniel Sims BS'14 (R) and postdoctoral researcher Yonghao Yue (L), have developed a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. Working with Computer Science Professor Shree Nayar, they designed and fabricated a flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent. This optical adaptation enables the sheet camera to produce high quality images over a wide range of sheet deformations.
