LIM 2024 — IMAGE CAPTURE: From Photons to Photos
London Imaging Meeting 2024
The London Imaging Meeting (LIM) is a yearly topic-based conference focused on the future of imaging science. The theme for 2024 is Image Capture: From Photons to Photos. LIM 2024 hopes to serve as a venue to bring together innovators, researchers, industry professionals, and academicians interested in all aspects of the imaging process used to convert physical scene radiance to pixel intensities.
Dates:
26 June: Summer School
27-28 June 2024: Technical Program
Venue:
Institute of Physics, London, UK
LIM 2024 PROGRAM TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Fundamental of imaging and modeling of image formation
- Light capture and sensor technologies
- Optical imaging systems and lenses
- Computational imaging and image processing
- High-Dynamic Range (HDR) and 3D imaging
- Immersive and extended reality imaging
- Quantum imaging and photon-efficient techniques
- Novel imaging modalities and sensors
- Photo-finishing methods
- Imaging for scientific applications
- Hyperspectral imaging
- Camera imaging performance & image quality
- Future trends in imaging technologies
- Multi-image capture and rendering (e.g., NeRF)
Authors are encouraged to present methods and solutions that cross the boundaries of disciplines. For example, methods that use new or existing models of the imaging system to improve image quality for tasks beyond photography. We welcome the participation of scientists and engineers from academia and industry and strongly encourage contributions from graduate students.
The conference is an in-person event, and the presenters are expected to attend in person (unless there are exceptional circumstances). We are planning that it will be possible to attend the main technical meeting online.

LIM 2024 KEYNOTE AND FOCAL SPEAKERS
As in past years, the 2024 event will feature two keynotes, one invited, and five focal talks, given by world-renowned experts in image capture.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers
Michael Freeman, photographer
One of the most widely published photographers worldwide, Michael Freeman has worked for most major international magazine and book publishers in a long career. An MA in Geography at Oxford, which included Anthropology, set the course of his reportage work, much of which has focused on Asia, including extended studies of cultures such as the Akha and Pathan, while a few years in advertising straight after university inspired a very different specialisation in studio still-life. Freeman has published 155 books on subjects as varied as Angkor, Sudan, ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia, the Shakers, and contemporary Japanese design and architecture. He was a leading photographer for the Smithsonian Magazine for three decades (more than 40 assignment stories). London-based, Freeman travels for half of each year on shooting assignments, principally in Asia.
Jon Y. Hardeberg, professor of Colour Imaging, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Jon Y. Hardeberg received his sivilingeniør (MSc) degree in signal processing from the Norwegian Institute of Technology and his PhD from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications. After a short but extremely valuable industry career where he designed, implemented, and evaluated colour imaging system solutions for multifunction peripherals and other imaging devices, he returned to academia. Professor Hardeburg is a member of the Colourlab, where he teaches, supervises MSc and PhD students, manages international study programs and research projects, and researches in the field of colour imaging, specifically spectral imaging, image quality, colour management, material appearance, and cultural heritage imaging. He has co-authored more than 400 publications, led several research projects funded by the Research Council of Norway, and been NTNU's representative in two Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (CIMET and COSI) and the coordinator of three Marie Curie ITN projects (CP7.0, ApPEARS, CHANGE). He is a Fellow of the IS&T, Senior Member of SPIE and IEEE, and the Norwegian delegate to CIE Division 8. Recently he started two companies, Artikolor AS and Spektralion AS.
Melissa Mathers, professor in Quantum Sensing and Engineering, University of Nottingham
Prof. Melissa Mather’s work aims at creating the next generation of quantum sensors to transform the way we sense the world around us. This is being achieved by turning tiny flaws in diamond into incredibly sensitive quantum devices. Diamond quantum sensors can be used for a variety of measurements, including magnetic fields, temperature, pressure, and even biological or chemical substances. But Mather’s work will enhance the measurement speeds and sensitivity of these sensors to create customised sensing methods and prototype devices that will translate the technology for use by non-specialists, as well as unlocking new applications in sectors such as healthcare, food security, defence, and more.
