[General] Elsevier C&G: Call for Special Section on HDR Imaging

Computers & Graphics Journal Special Edition on High Dynamic Range Imaging CALL FOR PAPERS Papers are invited for a Computers & Graphics journal Special Edition on High Dynamic Range Imaging. This special edition seeks contributions which are based on technical aspects related to the capture, storage, processing and display of High Dynamic Range content. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery has enabled the handling of content that supports real world luminance. This has created a step change in imaging technologies which were previously limited to a fixed and reduced dynamic range which was unable to represent real-world lighting. HDR still has challenges to overcome before it can become a fully-fledged commercial technology. It is still not possible to capture HDR data, particularly video, in a straightforward manner; once it is captured the number of storage, compression and streaming algorithms are limited; and the display technology has still not achieved its full potential. The applications for HDR also vary widely, and some aspects such as Image-based Lighting have garnered a lot of support, but other interesting applications are sure to exist and yet to be brought into the limelight. In this CFP we invite researchers and professionals that work with imaging technologies to submit papers that will project HDR forward to meet and overcome the current challenges and limitations. We invite work related to but not limited to: - The capture of HDR video and still images - The storage, compression and streaming of HDR content - Display of HDR content on LDR and HDR displays - Generation of HDR content from LDR content - Creation of novel HDR displays - Image-based lighting - Applications of HDR - User studies which establish limits for HDR methods (capture, storage, display) - The extension of HDR to other imaging technologies The Special Edition on High Dynamic Range Imaging editors are: Kurt Debattista from the University of Warwick (UK) and Luís Paulo Peixoto dos Santos from the University of Minho (Portugal) – see short CVs below.
