Robert Hunt to
Open 12th Color Imaging Conference with Popular Two-Day Tutorial
on Basic Color Science and Imaging
August 18, 2004 - The 12th annual
Color Imaging Conference (CIC12), to be held November 9-12 at
the SunBurst Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, will begin with a day
of two- and four-hour tutorials on Tuesday, November 9, a
structure that has become traditional for CIC's opening day. But
a day earlier, the eminent Robert W. G. Hunt, will begin a
comprehensive 12-hour, 2-day course that will cover the
principles of color perception, measurement, and reproduction as
applied to photography, television, printing, desk-top
publishing, and electronic imaging. Each day of this special
Hunt Tutorial will comprise six one-hour lectures with
discussion.
Hunt, formerly Assistant Director
of Research, Kodak Research Laboratories in Harrow, England, is
an independent color consultant. Hunt is widely regarded as an
unusually lucid, insightful, and entertaining speaker.
The organizers consider the Hunt
Tutorial a significant addition to the CIC, which has
established itself as the premier international conference on
Color Science, Color Engineering, and their applications. The
conference is jointly sponsored by the Society for Information
Display (SID) and the Society for Imaging Science and Technology
(IS&T).
Among the other 13 tutorials to
be held on November 9 are:
- Color in Electronic Displays
(Gabriel Marcu, Apple Computer)
- System Interactions in Digital
Color Imaging (Raja Bala, Xerox Corp. and Gaurav Sharma,
Univ. of Rochester)
- Color Management Concepts for
Digital Imaging (Kevin Spaulding, Eastman Kodak)
- Color Science for Digital
Cinema (Charles Poynton, Independent Contractor and Brad
Walker, Texas Instruments)
- Recent Advancements in Color
Print Technologies (Annette B. Jaffe, Jaffe
Consulting)
A three-day, single-track
technical conference of invited and contributed papers will
follow the tutorials. Three keynote addresses have been
confirmed:
- Color Research Applications in
Mapping and Visualization (Cynthia A. Brewer, Pennsylvania
State University)
- Color in Medical Imaging
(Kevin J. Parker, University of Rochester)
- Concept and Technology of
Natural Vision System (Nagaaki Ohyama, Tokyo Institute of
Technology)
There will also be an evening
talk on the Mars Exploration Rover mission, as well as an
interactive poster session.
The Color Imaging Conference has
become the leading event where color issues and applications are
discussed by people from around the world - typically about 300
people from Europe, Asia, and North America - and the conference
is organized with many opportunities for conversation and
informal communication.
