Computational photography refers to digital image processing techniques that use software algorithms to enhance, manipulate, or reconstruct photos after capture—rather than relying solely on optical and sensor hardware. Common applications in production include real-time image enhancement, background removal or replacement, HDR processing, and AI-assisted color correction. The term has become increasingly relevant in live production and broadcast as cameras and software become more integrated.
