Digital Imaging Research at Purdue University

Jan P. Allebach, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Measurement Science and Systems Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series
1:30 PM, Research Office Building (5700), Room E-104

Abstract

Purdue University has a rich tradition of imaging research dating back to the development of the first all electronic television receiver by Roscoe George in 1929 and the pioneering Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing in the late 1960s. Today digital imaging touches the work of many researchers all across campus. In the first part of this talk, I will first give an overview of Purdue, the College of Engineering, and the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I will then describe some of the imaging-related research being conducted by ECE faculty.

In the second part of the talk, I will focus on my own research in the area of digital printing that incorporates aspects of image analysis, image rendering, and psychophysics. In addition to discussing the technical aspects of this work, I will describe the impact that it has had on the products that have been sold by our major sponsor – the Hewlett-Packard Company during the past decade.

Bio:
Jan P. Allebach is Hewlett-Packard Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. His current research interests include image rendering, image quality, color imaging and color measurement, printer and sensor forensics, and digital publishing. Prof. Allebach is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T), and SPIE. He has been especially active with the IEEE Signal Processing Society and IS&T. He has served as Distinguished or Visiting Lecturer for both societies, has served as an officer and on the Board of Directors of both societies, and is presently Editor for the IS&T/SPIE Journal of Electronic Imaging. Prof. Allebach received the Senior (best paper) Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the Bowman Award from IS&T, was named Electronic Imaging Scientist of the Year by IS&T and SPIE, and was named Honorary Member of IS&T, the highest award that IS&T bestows. From Purdue University, he is co-recipient of the College of Engineering Team Award in recognition of his long-term work with HP, and recipient of the College of Engineering Mentoring Excellence Award, the Sigma Xi Faculty Research Award, and five teaching awards.
