We welcome you to another exciting IS&T/SID Color Imaging Conference to be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, November 6–10! The conference committee has put together a strong technical program, with papers presenting advances in high dynamic range imaging, spatio-chromatic reproduction, medical imaging, color image capture, 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 highly distinguished individuals.

David Williams, director of the Center for Visual Science at the University of Rochester, will speak on “Color and the Cone Mosaic.”
Jeff Sampsell, vice president of technology development at Qualcomm, will give the talk “Causes of Color, Especially Interference Colors.”
Adrianus de Vaan of Philips Innovation Labs will tell us about “Competing Display Technologies for the Best Image Performance.”

In addition, we are delighted to have as our evening speaker Barbara Berrie, senior conservation scientist at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, who will discuss “The Alchemy of Artists: from Pigments to Paintings.” These speakers are all coming to CIC for the first time, thus lending a fresh and exciting dimension to the conference.

As in the past, we inaugurate the conference with an extensive tutorial program. We are pleased to welcome back Dr. Robert Hunt to give his popular two-day course on Basic Color Science and Imaging. This year we also feature a special one-day course on the Practical Application of Measurement Systems. 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 this year. Be sure to browse through the tutorial descriptions in this booklet and check out the special new 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 Chaparral Suites, promises to be highly conducive in this respect, with breakfast and Happy Hour offered as part of the lodging and conference attendance.

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 Scottsdale in November!

—Raja Bala and Marc Mahy, General Chairs, CIC14

Our goal is to offer a program that will be exciting and engaging for returning participants, and attractive and educational to newcomers. This goal can only be accomplished with your active involvement. If you are a regular attendee, we look forward to your continued support. If you have never attended the conference, do plan your first trip in 2006—we are confident you will make it an annual event!

Keynotes and Special Features of CIC14

The conference will include keynote presentations by distinguished experts in the field. The following are already confirmed:

David Williams, director of the Center for Visual Science, Univ. of Rochester, will speak on ”Color and the Cone Mosaic.”
Jeff Sampsell, vice president of technology development at Qualcomm, will speak on ”Causes of Color, especially Interference Colors.”

This year’s evening presentation will be given by Barbara Berrie, senior conservation scientist, at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. She will speak on “The Alchemy of Artists: From Pigments to Paintings.”

The Late Breaking News (LBN) session will be featured again at CIC14. LBN presentations are on technologies and findings that were not available at the time of the original paper deadline. Procedures for LBN submissions will be announced on the IS&T website after the regular paper deadline.

Generally, the International Color Consortium (ICC) and CIE technical committees hold meetings in conjunction with this conference; see their websites for further information.
