In-Camera Color Processing for Digital Camera, by Michael Brown (York University) Abstract:

We often think of our cameras as devices that convert the incoming light rays directly to photographs. However, there are many steps involved in producing the final photograph we share with family and friends. In many cases, the type of processing applied gives a camera its unique photographic quality. In this talk, I'll provide an overview of the processing steps applied on board a digital camera to convert the sensor image to the final photograph. The in-camera processing includes steps such as denoising, demosiacing, white-balance, selective color rendering, tone-mapping, and color space conversion. I'll also talk about new multi-frame approaches to imaging used on smartphone cameras.

Bio: Dr. Michael S. Brown is a professor and Canada Research Chair at York University. His research targets computational photography, image processing, and computer vision.

PS - The CRSC is organizing the AIC (International Colour Organization) Conference in 2022 on Sensing Colour. Perhaps the ArtSci salon would like to do some joint programming/events. The conference is June 13-16 2022. At this point we are organizing a hybrid online/in-person event.
