Introduction:
Image Processing
has come of age, particularly in the area of multimedia, image and video coding,
satellite imagery, a has and many other areas. Simultaneously, display
technology has progressed in parallel and today many sophisticated displays are
available. Unfortunately, there has been relatively little interaction between
image processing and display technology.
Displays are
fast moving from the classical CRT technology to flat panel display (FPD)
technologies like Plasma screens and LCD. Each of the FPD technologies have
their own unique performance attributes like speed, color gamut, brightness and
contrast. Nevertheless, all of them have the common features like fixed matrix
format, a variety of resolutions, and aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9. These
displays have to cater to a variety of video signals in analogue or digital
format like NTSC,PAL,SD, HDTV, family of computer formats like VGA, WVGA, XGA,
SXGA, DVD, cine film etc. While attempting to match the signals to the display
many artifacts arise. This where signal and image processing can play a major
role. It is reasonable to expect that sophisticated image processing algorithms
can tackle the artifact removal problems in image and video display technology.
Today, real time software and firmware implementations for complex signal and
image processing algorithms is possible.
The display
community has recognized that the future performance of the displays depends
heavily on new signal processing techniques and major companies are putting
enormous effort in this direction.
In India, we
have the best intellectual resources and many teams of renowned signal
processing experts. It is worthwhile exploring if this community can be
motivated to direct their efforts into this domain which may create a pool of
Intellectual Property which in turn will give added and unique advantage to the
display industry in the country.
The workshop,
besides presentation, will have active brainstorming
sessions. The participants will be from industry and academia.
The participants
will deliberate issues and identify the needs and the capabilities so as to
synergize them for best results.
Workshop
Objectives, Structure, and Budget
-
Objective:
Presentations, deliberations and brain storming among participants from industry and academia to identify the issues in the
use of latest signal and image processing algorithms to enhance display
technology. At the end of the workshop we expect to have clear collaborative
efforts.
-
Structure:
It will be a one day workshop with approximately 25 participants from industry
and academia.
-
Venue:
The workshop will be held at Main Guest House Conference Room, IIT-Bombay
