I was lucky enough to take some introductory courses at the NTNU Colorlab in Gjøvik, Norway. What I learned there changed my view on vision.
Computer imaging is much wider than you think. It cares about the entire signal pipeline, from emission from a light source, to capture by a sensor, to re-emission from a display, to absorption in your eye, and how your brain perceives it. Just like our programming languages professor called us "Pythonized minds" for only knowing a tiny subset of programming, there is so much more to vision than the RGB we learn at school. Look up "Metamerism" for some entry-level fun. Color spaces are also fun and funky.
There are a lot of interesting papers in the field, and its definitely worth reading some.

A highlight of my time at university.
