Conference Overview

CIC Hotel UPDATE (as of October 15, 2007)

The Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town is sold out of rooms at the conference rate. To accommodate any attendee who has not made his/her room reservation, we have made arrangements for rooms at the Best Western Rio Grand Inn Hotel. The Best Western is located across the street and a block away from the conference venue.

You can make a reservation at the Best Western Rio Grande Inn Hotel (www.riograndeinn.com) by calling 800/959-4726. The group name is "Society for Imaging Science and Technology Color Imaging Conference" and the group rate is $88 single/double. You may also make reservations using the hotel's website. The hotel is located at 1015 Rio Grande Blvd. in Albuquerque; a free shuttle is available to/from the airport. Please check with the hotel on how to arrange for this service.

Please contact IS&T if you have any questions regarding the housing situation. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the first IS&T/SID Color Imaging Conference to be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico! The conference’s technical program committee has put together a strong set of papers presenting the latest in the use of color in medical
imaging, spatial color gamut mapping, gamut computation, color correction, high
dynamic range imaging, spectral imaging, mobile displays, color appearance and other stimulating topics. As always, the conference will feature a single-track oral presentation format, complemented by an interactive paper session where participants explore topics in-depth with authors. The meeting will conclude with a Late-Breaking News session featuring recent breakthroughs in color imaging.

This year we are pleased to bring to you keynote presentations by three outstanding speakers:

• Terry Regier, associate professor in the University of Chicago’s Department of Psychology, will speak on color naming and the effect of language on perception.
• Scott Tyo, associate professor of Optical Sciences and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, will give a talk about combining
hyper-spectral and polarization contrast images into a unified color image.
• Fred Schubert, Wellfleet Senior Constellation Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will tell us about LEDs in color imaging.

In addition, we are delighted to have as our evening speaker David Haaland, senior
scientist at the Cancer Biology Research Program at Sandia National Laboratories, who will present “Hyperspectral Imaging: Converting Colors to Molecular Information.”

These speakers are all working in areas adjacent to the core of what CIC covers and we expect great opportunities for cross–fertilization as a result.

Again this year an extensive tutorial program precedes the conference and we are pleased to welcome back Dr. Robert Hunt to give his popular two-day course on Basic Color Science and Imaging. In addition, a day-long program of tutorials is being given on a wide range of topics, several of which are being offered for the first time. Be sure to browse through the tutorial descriptions in this booklet and check out the special rates for students and attendees of multiple tutorials.

We recognize that one of the most valuable aspects of being at the conference lies in the informal interactions amongst colleagues in the field. Thus we have planned an agenda with ample time for networking. The new conference venue, the Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town, promises to be highly conducive in this respect.

So mark your calendar for what promises to be another stimulating week of color imaging. Use the enclosed forms to submit your registration and hotel reservations now! Finally, please take a moment to share this information with friends and colleagues, particularly those who have not had the opportunity to attend this unique conference. We look forward to seeing you in Albuquerque in November!
