Roger D. Hersch
for his contributions to halftoning,
multispectral imaging, and digital
typography
Roger D. Hersch is professor of computer science and head of the Peripheral Systems Laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL). He received his engineering degree from ETH Zurich (1975), worked in industry from 1975 to 1980, and obtained his PhD from EPFL in 1985. He has published more than 100 scientific papers, is the editor of four books, and is inventor or co-inventor in more than a dozen patents or patent applications. His research interests evolved from digital typography and 3D volume imaging to halftoning, multispectral imaging, and document security. Hersch directed the widely known Visible Human Web Server project, which offers a number of services for the visualization of human anatomy. His current research focuses on color reproduction, spectral prediction models, control of printing presses, moiré imaging, and visual document security. Achievements include the PhotoProtect technology which incorporates text as chromatic differences in order to protect identity photographs (Swiss driving license); microstructure imaging (SecuTix technology), which is used by railways companies (SNCF, RENFE) and festival organizers to print tickets at home; and the band moiré imaging technology for the protection of security documents. His recent research focuses on novel spectral prediction models for modeling the interaction between light, inks, and paper. Specific extensions of these models provide the means of controlling the ink throughput in printers. Other extensions enable printing fluorescent color images visible only under UV light.

David
Whitcomb
for his sustained service as an associate
editor of the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology and his involvement in IS&T conference organization
David Whitcomb obtained his BA in chemistry from Monmouth College (Illinois) and his PhD in inorganic chemistry from Duke University. After one year of post-doctoral research on eight-coordinate Tungsten complexes at the University of Massachusetts, he joined 3M. Most of his work at 3M involved inorganic chemistry-based imaging materials, such as carbonless paper, thermal print paper, and photothermography. It is the latter field that has been his focus since 1989, with the objective of revealing the fundamental reaction mechanisms of photothermographic imaging materials based on silver carboxylates and silver halide. During the course of this work, Whitcomb led a multicountry (US, Russia, Ukraine, UK) research team whose objective was to generate this understanding. Whitcomb has published more than 50 papers in this field, including review articles for the Handbook of Imaging Materials and the Kirk-Othmar Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. He has presented this work at many international conferences and universities, as well as translated more than 100 Russian technical publications in this field. Whitcomb has been awarded 26 patents. In 1996, Whitcomb was part of the medical imaging business units that transferred into a new company, Imation, spun off from 3M. The highly successful photothermographic medical x-ray diagnostic film, DryView™, introduced in 1995, then became part of Eastman Kodak Company when the business was purchased in 1999. Subsequently, the entire health group was sold to form a new company, Carestream Health, Inc. He is currently continuing efforts to further reveal the inorganic reaction components of the imaging chemistry, most recently the properties of the nanometallic silver image, for improving DryView™, as well as for new thermally based imaging products under development.
