Color Imaging
Conference Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Eminent Speakers and
Increased Focus on Display and Imaging Devices
August 23, 2002 -
The 10th annual Color Imaging Conference (CIC10), to
be held November 12-15 in Scottsdale, Arizona, will open with The
Human Components of Color Systems, a two-hour tutorial by
Brian Wandell, the eminent neuroscientist who founded the Image
Systems Engineering Program at Stanford University (and gave the
invited luncheon address at the SID Symposium in May). CIC,
which has established itself as the premier international
conference on Color Science, Color Engineering, and their
applications, is jointly sponsored by the Society for
Information Display (SID) and the Society for Image Science and
Technology (IS&T).
Among the16
tutorials to be held on November 12th are:
-
Creating
ICC Profiles (Christopher Hauf, Eastman Kodak)
-
Digital
Still Camera Systems (Michael Kriss, Sharp Laboratories
of America)
-
Color
Image Scanners (Gauran Sharma, Xerox)
-
Data
Compression Technology and Standards for Digital Color
Systems (Joan Mitchell, IBM)
-
Visible
Spectrum Imaging (Roy Berns, Rochester Institute of
Technology)
-
Solving
for Color Constancy (Graham Finlayson, University of
East Anglia)
The three-day
technical conference that follows the day of tutorials will
begin with Eyeing the Camera, a keynote address by Robert
W.G. Hunt, the renowned color scientist who won SID's Johann
Guttenberg Prize this year. Hunt, who regularly addresses the
CIC, is known as an unusually engaging and innovative speaker.
The other keynotes - CIC traditionally has keynotes scattered
throughout the program - include a particularly interesting
topic, Advanced Computer Vision Systems by Shree K. Nayar
(Columbia University). There will be a special 10th-anniversary
collaborative presentation on the evolution of color science and
engineering designed to stimulate dialogue.
Among the
technical papers scheduled for presentation are:
-
Color
Engineering - Ten Years Later (James C. King, Adobe
Systems)
-
The
History of Device Independent Color - Ten Years Later
(Robert R. Buckley, Xerox)

-
The
Induction of Color Error by Pixel Structure (M.
Kanazawa, K. Hamada, and F. Okano, NHK Science and Technical
Research Laboratories)
-

The color imaging
conference has become the leading event where color issues and
applications are discussed by people from around the world -
typically over 300 people from Europe, Asia, and North America -
and the conference is organized with many opportunities for
conversation and informal communication.
