We live in an era of significant technological advancements in electronic imaging. Developments in digital printing, flat panel displays, camera sensors, image processing power, and 3D imaging are enabling new or enhanced possibilities for creating and conveying visual content that informs or entertains. Wireless networks and mobile devices expand the ways to share imagery. The power of imaging, however, rests directly on the quality of the images and the systems that produce them. And as the images are generally intended to be viewed by humans, consideration of the role of human visual perception is intrinsic to the effective assessment of image quality. This conference brings together industrial and academic engineers and scientists who strive to understand what makes a high quality image and how to assess the requirements and performance of modern imaging systems. We focus on both objective and subjective methods for evaluating the perceptual quality of images. We include applications throughout the imaging chain from image capture, through processing, and on to output, whether printed or displayed. Abstracts are welcome which describe recent developments in the following and related areas:
