High Dynamic Range Imaging: Acquisition, Display, and Image-Based Lighting

Buy
High dynamic range imaging produces images with a much greater range of light and color than conventional imaging. The effect is stunning, as great as the difference between black-and-white and color television. High Dynamic Range Imaging is the first book to describe this exciting new field that is transforming the media and entertainment industries. Written by the foremost researchers in HDRI, it will explain and define this new technology for anyone who works with images, whether it is for computer graphics, film, video, photography, or lighting design.

* Written by the leading researchers in HDRI
* Covers all the areas of high dynamic range imaging including capture devices, display devices, file formats, dynamic range reduction, and image-based lighting
* Includes a DVD with over 4 GB of HDR images as well as source code and binaries for numerous tone reproduction operators for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X

About the Author

Erik Reinhard is assistant professor at the University of Bristol and founder and editor-in-chief (with Heinrich Bьlthoff) of ACM Transactions on Applied Perception. He is interested in the interface between visual perception and computer graphics and also in high dynamic range image editing. His work in HDRI includes the SIGGRAPH 2005 Computer Animation Festival contribution Image-based Material Editing, as well as tone reproduction and color appearance algorithms. He holds a BSc and a TWAIO diploma in computer science from Delft University of Technology and a PhD in computer science from the University of Bristol, and was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Utah.

Greg Ward is a pioneer in HDRI, having developed the first widely used HDR image file format in 1986 as part of the Radiance lighting simulation system. In 1998 he introduced the more advanced LogLuv TIFF encoding and more recently the backwards-compatible HDR extension to JPEG. He is also the author of the Mac OS X application Photosphere, which provides advanced HDR assembly and cataloging and is freely available from www.anyhere.com. Currently he is collaborating with Sunnybrook Technologies on their HDR display systems. Greg has worked as a part of the computer graphics research community for over 20 years, developing rendering algorithms, reflectance models and measurement systems, tone reproduction operators, image processing techniques, and photo printer calibration methods. His past employers include the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, EPFL Switzerland, SGI, Shutterfly, and Exponent. He holds a bachelor's degree in physics from UC Berkeley and a master's degree in computer science from San Francisco State University. He is currently working as an independent consultant in Albany, California. Sumanta Pattanaik is an associate processor of computer science at the University of Central Florida, Orlando (UCF).

Exploratory Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Data: A Systematic Approach
Exploratory Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Data: A Systematic Approach
It seems curious that we have not found a general definition of this term in
the literature. In statistics, for example, data analysis is understood as “the
process of computing various summaries and derived values from the
given collection of data” (Hand 1999, p. 3). It is specially stressed that the
process is

A Career in Computers
A Career in Computers
A Career in Computers is a straightforward and sometimes comical look into finding a job in the field of the computer sciences. It answers questions that many IT professionals and newcomers need to know when looking for a job and what they should expect. Most computer books deal with configuring software and do little in answering important...

Adaptive and Multilevel Metaheuristics (Studies in Computational Intelligence)
Adaptive and Multilevel Metaheuristics (Studies in Computational Intelligence)
One of the keystones in practical metaheuristic problem-solving is the fact that tuning the optimization technique to the problem under consideration is crucial for achieving top performance. This tuning/customization is usually in the hands of the algorithm designer, and despite some methodological attempts, it largely remains a scientific art....

The data access landscape over the past seven or so years has changed dramatically. Relational databases, the heart of storing and processing data in the enterprise for over 30 years, are no longer the only game in town. The past seven years have seen the birth —and in some cases the death—of many...
