12th Color Imaging Conference:
What Do the 18 Cameras on the Mars Rovers See?
October 14, 2003 -- In addition
to its traditional high-quality technical program, the 12th
annual Color Imaging Conference (CIC12) to be held November
9-12 at the SunBurst Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona will
include an exciting evening presentation by Michelle Minitti, The
Mars Exploration Rover Mission: Two Rovers, 18 Cameras, One Goal.
The conference is jointly sponsored by the Society for
Information Display (SID) and the Society for Imaging Science
and Technology (IS&T).
Minitti, Faculty Research
Associate at the Center for Meteorite Studies, Arizona State
University, will discuss the vast array of cameras,
spectrometers, and other instruments intended to assess the
history of water in the rocks at the Rover exploration sites,
and the exploration process.
CIC 12 will begin with a day of
two- and four-hour tutorials on Tuesday, November 9, a structure
that has become traditional for CICs opening day. But a day
earlier, 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.

Displays (Gabriel Marcu, Apple Computer)
- System Interactions in
Digital Color Imaging (Raja Bala, Xerox Corp. and Gaurav
Sharma, Univ. of Rochester)

for Digital Imaging (Kevin Spaulding, Eastman Kodak)
- Color Science for Digital
Cinema (Charles Poynton, Independent Contractor and Brad

A three-day, single-track
technical conference of invited and contributed papers will
follow the tutorials, and will include three keynote addresses:
- Color Research Applications in
Mapping and Visualization (Cynthia A. Brewer, Pennsylvania
State University)
- Color in Medical Imaging
(Kevin J. Parker and Man Zhang, University of Rochester

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
