Hunt, Nayar, Fournier to Give Keynotes at 10th CIC

October 7, 2002 — As the organizers of the Color Imaging Conference (CIC) look forward to the tenth running of the event, they find themselves presiding over the world’s leading international conference covering color science and color engineering, and their applications. CIC10, which is jointly sponsored by the Society of Information Display (SID) and the Society for Image Science and Technology (IS&T), will be held November 12-15 at the SunBurst Resort Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona.

“This year’s keynote speakers include Dr. W. G. Hunt on Eyeing the Camera, Shree Nayar on Computational Imaging, and Jean-Marc Fournier on Lippman Color Reproduction,” said Gabriel Marcu (Apple Computer), SID Technical Program Co-Chair for the conference. “Each of them is well known and highly respected within the color community,” he continued. “The Color Imaging Conference has consistently received excellent reviews from participants. With excellent tutorials, outstanding keynote speakers, first-rate papers and posters, we think this year will be the best ever.”

Ingeborg Tastl (Hewlett Packard Labs), SID General Co-Chair for the event, added a comment for potential registrants: “Our participants come from academia as well as from industry, from the U.S. as well as from Asia and Europe. You can exchange ideas with people whose books you have read as well as with young, passionate graduate students. Join us for our tenth-anniversary celebration.” As part of that celebration, each registrant will receive a CD-ROM with the proceedings for all ten color imaging conferences from 1993 through 2002.

The Monday tutorials are a good example of what will be covered...

  • 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 color imaging conference has become the chosen event where people from around the world congregate to discuss color issues – typically over 300 people from Europe, Asia, and North America – and the conference is organized with many opportunities for conversation and informal communication.
