IS&T/SID 10th Color Imaging Conference, Nov. 12-15, Scottsdale, AZ, USA

This year's Color Imaging Conference (CIC10) will be held November 12
through 15 in Scottsdale, Arizona. 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 the 16 tutorials to be held on November 12th are:
o Creating ICC Profiles (Christopher Hauf, Eastman Kodak)
o The Human Components of Color Systems (Brian Wandell, Stanford Univ.)
o Digital Still Camera Systems (Michael Kriss, Sharp Laboratories of
America)
o Color Image Scanners (Gauran Sharma, Xerox)
o Data Compression Technology and Standards for Digital Color Systems (Joan
Mitchell, IBM)
o Visible Spectrum Imaging (Roy Berns, Rochester Institute of Technology)
o 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 and
an IS&T Honorary Member.  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:
o Color Engineering - Ten Years Later (James C. King, Adobe Systems)
o The History of Device Independent Color - Ten Years Later (Robert R.
Buckley, Xerox)
o Experiments on Adaptive Soft-copy Color Reproduction (Janne S. Laine, VTT
Technical Research Center of Finland)
o ICC Color Management within the Motion Picture Industry (Andreas Kraushaar
and Dietrich Gall, FOGRA and the Technical University Ilmenau)
o The Induction of Color Error by Pixel Structure (M. Kanazawa, K. Hamada,
and F. Okano, NHK Science and Technical Research Laboratories)
o Gray Tracking Correction for TFT-LCDs (Gabriel Marcu and Kok Chen, Apple
Computer)
o Characterisation of LCD and PDP Projection Displays (Lars Seime and Jon Y.
Hardeberg, SINTEF Electronics and Cybernetics, Norway)
o Color Conversion from RGB to RGB+White While Preserving Hue and Saturation
(SeongDeok Lee et al., Samsung)
o Color Calibration of LCD (Yasuhiro Yoshida and Yoichi Yamamoto, Sharp
Corp.)
o Eyeing the Camera:  the Next Century (Richard Lyon and Paul Hubel, Foveon)

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.
