Decorre a 28 de novembro, a partir das 14:30, no Edifício 4 do Iscte, auditório A302,  o evento “Digital Camera Signal Processing — History, Recent Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities”, que consite numa "Distinguished Lecture da Signal Processing Society" do IEEE.

A palestra, no âmbito do Doutoramento em CTI - Ciências e Tecnologias da Informação do Iscte, é ministrada pelo Professor Farhan Baqai, atualmente Senior Manager da Apple Inc. (EUA), e cujo curriculo inclui cargos de relevo em empresas como a Xerox e a Sony.

Abstract:

In a relatively short period of time, the digital camera has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. The pace at which innovations are being made in this area is remarkable. The exciting aspect is that there is much more to come. In this talk, we review the evolution of digital cameras from camera obscura to film to digital to mobile. Along the way, we identify events that precipitated the change to a digital photography ecosystem. We briefly discuss practices and assumptions that are prevalent in the scientific community and look at a few signal processing solutions that we have developed over the years for problems in digital photography. Using these examples, we demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of digital camera image processing. We present recent results to show the progress that has been achieved in computational photography on mobile cameras and conclude with challenges and opportunities.
