Conference Venue:Darmstadt, Germany

Darmstadt—known as “The City of Science”—com-bines a rich history with a modern atmosphere. Ithosts the beautiful Ducal Palace—home to theGrand Dukes of Hesse and in the late 19th andearly 20th centuries center of the Art Nouveaumovement. Many fine architectural examples of this epoch arepresent today, including the town’s landmark Wedding Tower atMathildenhöhe, Darmstadt’s artists’ colony. The city also boaststhree Fraunhofer institutes, the European Space Operation Cen-tre, and the Society for Heavy Ion Research, where various chem-ical elements were synthesized. One of these elements,Darmstadtium (atomic number 110), was named after the city.The famous Frankenstein Castle is nearby, surrounded by beauti-ful vineyards and other historic castles. The Rhine is a short trainride away, offering excursions to Lorelei and other famous places.

The average weather in October is a cool 58°F/45°F (14°C/7°C); rain is likely. Hotel andtravel information is found on page 19.

Technical ProgramOPENING KEYNOTEPossibilities and Limitations of theBidirectional Texture Function asAppearance RepresentationReinhard Klein, Universität Bonn

Reproducing the characteristic appear-ance of materials digitally is of consider-able importance for the creation of photo-realistic images. A successful approachto capture and represent the appear-ance of a material is the Bi-directionalTexture Functions (BTF), which can beconsidered as an image based repre-sentation and comprises thousands ofimages that have been taken under var-ious light situations and from differentviewpoints. In this talk we report on BTFacquisition devices as well as data com-pression and rendering techniques forBTFs that were developed at our institutewithin several research projects on thistopic. Special emphasis will be put onthe discussion of possibilities and limita-tions of this kind of representation for dif-ferent application areas ranging fromvirtual prototyping to cultural heritage.

W1: Camera Color Characterization8:00 – 12:30Chair: Sabine Süsstrunk, EPFL (Switzerland)

This workshop covers the whole process ofcamera characterization in theory and prac-tice; a talk is provided on all important aspects.

Many camera manufacturers stick to oldtest chart based color characterization meth-ods because they are reluctant to change arunning system or have not fully understoodwhat modern technology can do.

The goal of the workshop is to identify anddemonstrate known issues in this process andprovide potential solutions using latest

technology like multispectral LED light sourcesin combination with in situ measured spectralradiances of natural objects and modern im-plementations of color look up tables so thatparticipants get all the information they needto implement advanced color correction intheir cameras and software.

The workshop will also look at the impactdisplay output (i.e., Rec.2020) has oncamera characterization.

CLOSING KEYNOTE3D Printing: Building Rich andSeamless Workflows for AdvancedFabrication,Scott White, Hewlett-Packard Company

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturingtechnologies are evolving rapidly. Mate-rials and processes are being createdand refined to fabricate compelling anduseful objects for a wide array of indus-tries. The digital pipeline from design tofabrication is evolving as well, but thereare many challenges associated withmatching designers’ intent to fabricatedobjects, especially for advanced visualand mechanical properties. Meetingthese challenges will require effort acrossthe entire 3D printing ecosystem and, insome cases, require entirely new ways tospecify and encode printing data.

W2: Multi-Disciplinary Challenges in theMeasurement and Reproduction of Skin Colors9:00 – 12:30Chairs: David Connah, University of Bradford,and Kaida Xiao, University of Liverpool (UK)

Skin is a non-flat multi-layer material with un-even color properties. The largest organ inthe human body, its color and appearancecan change rapidly in response to tempera-ture changes, illness, or even emotional re-sponses. There has recently been a resur-gence in interest in skin color, driven by anumber of different technologies and applica-tion areas where accurate skin measurementand reproduction are key factors. Applica-tion areas include:• diagnosis of cutaneous diseases• skin color segmentation for face detection

and recognition• skin color reproduction for the graphic arts• skin color matching for body and maxillo-

facial soft tissue prosthesesIn particular, three-dimensional (3D) tech-

nology has recently allowed for innovativemethods of 3D data capture, storage, andmanufacturing of both the geometry of 3Dshapes and 3D color data of a body, to pro-duce reproductions as either images or phys-ical objects (hard or soft). For such applica-tions, a comprehensive knowledge of therange of skin shades that represent individu-als, an understanding of how skin colorvaries, and how people perceive these differ-ences in a wide range of viewing conditionsare strongly desired.

The motivation behind this workshop is tobring together practitioners and academicsfrom a range of disciplines to explore the out-standing issues in the measurement, repro-duction, and perception of skin, with a partic-ular emphasis on skin imaging. The overallgoal is to understand more deeply what themost pressing challenges are in this area andstimulate cross-disciplinary collaborationsthat might help address these issues.

W3: High Dynamic Range Imaging & DigitalCamera Workflow9:00 – 12:30Chairs: Nicolas Bonnier, Apple (USA), andHarald Brendel, ARRI (Germany)

As digital cinema workflows evolve, newtechnologies emerge bringing higher resolu-tion, higher frame-rate, higher dynamicrange, and wider gamut. In particular, cam-eras manufacturers are developing input de-vices capturing an always-higher dynamicrange while projectors and monitors gradual-ly improve and display higher and higher dy-namic range. Different aspects of the digitalcinema workflow such as the image render-ing, the encoding range and format, the col-or space, the color sampling, the supporteddynamic range, and the bandwidth will haveto be reconsidered to adopt these emergingHigh Dynamic Range (HDR) technologies.

The workshop reviews emerging HDR tech-nologies in digital cinema, evaluates the like-lihood of their adoptions by the community,and discusses the impact of their adoptionson the digital cinema workflow. The aim is tobring together researchers from both the in-dustry and academia to identify opportunitiesand challenges within this field. The work-shop starts with a series of invited talks fromestablished researchers from leading compa-nies, organizations, and universities who willfocus on particular aspects of the field.

The following stages of the digital cinemaworkflow are covered: camera capture, colorgrading and post-production, mastering, dis-tribution and broadcasting, and display. Thecurrent state of standardization efforts byleading organizations such as the Academyof Motion Picture, Art and Science, SMPTEand MPEG is also discussed.

T4B: Variational Color Image EnhancementInspired by Human Vision10:15 – 12:15 (2 hours)Instructor: Edoardo Provenzi, University Paris Descartes

In the last twenty years, variational principlesin image processing and computer visionflourished. They allowed a deeper compre-hension of important image features and pro-vided more efficient solutions to many practi-cal problems. This holds true also for colorimage processing. The first part of this shortcourse provides a brief qualitative introduc-tion to variational techniques, which is thenapplied to re-interpret the well-known his-togram equalization method. During the sec-ond part, you are shown how to modify thevariational framework of histogram equaliza-tion to take into account some basic proper-ties of the human visual system. Results onnatural images are presented and discussed.

Benefits: Attendees will be able to:• Identify a variational technique.• Describe histogram equalization in terms

of minimization of energy functionals.• Summarize the most important phenome-

nological properties of the human visualsystem.

• Combine visual features with variationalprinciples in order to get efficient colorenhancement algorithms.

• Compare different color enhancementtechniques within the variational frame-work.

Intended Audience: variational principles amount

to the definition of a suitable integral functioncalled “energy” and the computation of itsminima. In order to understand this, a gener-al knowledge about differential calculus offunctions would be strongly recommended.The course is intended for two types of audi-ences: color/imaging scientists and engi-neers who would like to acquire informationabout some recent developments of color en-hancement inspired by human vision andmaster and PhD students or post-docs whowish to approach the rapidly expanding do-main of variational techniques.

T2C: High-Dynamic-Range Imaging in Cameras,Displays, and Human Vision13:30 – 15:30 (2 hours)Instructors: Alessandro Rizzi, University of Milano,and John McCann, McCann Imaging

High-dynamic range (HDR) imaging recordsand displays more information than conven-tional imaging. Non-uniform illumination in-creases the range of light from a scene. Al-though HDR techniques are often associatedwith recording Natural Images (Ansel Adams),it can be used to improve medical imaging,such as endoscopy. After providing a detaileddescription of the dynamic range problem inimage acquisition, this course focuses onstandard methods of creating and manipulat-ing HDR images, replacing myths with meas-urements of scenes, camera images, and vi-sual appearances. The course presentsmeasurements about the limits of accurate


15

camera acquisition (range and color) and theusable range of light for displays presentedto human vision. It discusses the principles oftone rendering and the role of HDR spatialcomparison.

Benefits: Attendees will be able to:• Explore the history of HDR imaging.• Understand dynamic range and quantiza-

tion: the ‘salame’ metaphor.• Compare single and multiple-exposures

for scene capture.• Measuring optical limits in acquisition

and visualization.• Discover relationship between HDR range

and scene dependency; the effect of glare.• Discuss the limits of RAW scene capture

in LDR and normal scenes.• Learn about scene dependent glare in

RAW image capture.• Explore the limits of our vision system on

HDR.• Calculate retinal luminance.• Identify tone-rendering problems and

spatial methods.

Intended Audience: students, color scientists, im-aging researchers, medical imagers, soft-ware and hardware engineers, photogra-phers, cinematographers, and productionspecialists, interested in using HDR in imag-ing applications.

T4C: Color Image Quality Assessment13:30 – 15:30 (2 hours)Instructors: Jan Allebach, Purdue University, andMarius Pedersen, Gjøvik University College

Image quality assessment is a topic of grow-ing interest that has also been the subject ofmuch recent research. In this short course, weexamine the current thinking about color im-age quality from several different vantagepoints. First, we examine models that are in-spired by the spatiochromatic properties ofthe human visual system, or by thinking aboutthe visually relevant structural characteristicsof images. Furthermore, these spatiochromat-ic approaches typically lead to a processedimage that reflects visual significance of im-age errors on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Such pix-el error maps may be converted to a singlenumber that summarizes overall image quali-ty by various approaches to spatial summa-tion, including the accounting for visualsaliency. We describe some of these ap-proaches. A second major thread for imagequality investigations is to identify a set of keyimage quality attributes, such as tone repro-duction, sharpness, contrast, graininess, col-or fidelity, and artifacts, and to computethese as a set of distinct metrics for evaluat-

ing image quality. We discuss methods forconducting psychophysical experiments toevaluate these specific aspects of image qual-ity, and the use of spider plots to illustratehow they separately and cumulatively affectoverall image quality. Finally, we illustrate theuse of these image quality concepts for theevaluation of printer workflows.

Benefits: Attendees will be able to:• Understand the basic spatiochromatic

characteristics of the human visualsystem.

• Understand methods for conductingpsychophysical experiments to subjective-ly assess image quality.

• Be familiar with the major image qualitymetrics in use today.

• Understand methods for pooling theresults of spatial image quality maps toyield a single-number assessment ofoverall image quality.

• Understand what the major image qualityattributes are, what they measure, andhow they are computed.

• Know how to generate and interpretspider-plots that provide an integratedview of how a given image performsacross a set of image quality attributes.

• Gain insight into the application of theconcepts introduced in this course to thesolution of real-world problems in imag-ing systems development.

Intended Audience: scientists, engineers, analysts,and managers involved in the design, engi-neering, manufacturing, marketing, or evalua-tion of imaging and printing products, algo-rithms, or systems. Participants should befamiliar with the function and basic propertiesof imaging systems. A rudimentary knowl-edge of color science, linear systems, and im-age processing is helpful, but not essential.
