Challenges and Opportunities for Digital Imaging in the 21st Century November 20, 2008

An IET/BCS/ACM Joint Lecture given by
Alan Payne (Research Director, Kodak European Research)

Capturing and viewing images has never been easier for the consumer than it is today. The proliferation of digital cameras, either on a dedicated device or combined with a mobile phone, means that most of us carry cameras with us the whole time and are likely to capture images both more often and also for more diverse uses than previously.

What we do with those images though is much less obvious than in the days of analogue systems. How do we display, share, store, archive and retrieve images? How will we be able to do this in the future?

Digital technology offers an abundance of opportunities to address these questions. Some examples of current activities will be presented together with a discussion of possible future directions.
