Image Quality Metrics

He has published over 70 papers in journals and international conferences on photo-realistic graphics. He is currently vice chair of ACM SIG-GRAPH. His research is investigating the use of photo-realistic graphics in the visu-alisation of archaeological site reconstructions and techniques which may be used to reduced computation times without affecting the perceptual quality of the images. Scott Daly has degrees in electrical engineering and bioengineering, with a thesis directed toward retinal neurophysiology. He has worked for RCA, Photo Electronics Corporation, and Eastman Kodak in digital video, laser scanning, image compression, image fidelity models, and data image embedding. He shares an Emmy with Kodak colleagues for a video transceiver used in the 1989 Tianamen Square news coverage. Conference activities include papers, tutorials, and chairing sessions for SPIE, SPSE and RIDT. Currently at Sharp Laboratories of America, he is now applying visual models towards improving digital video and displays. He has 12 patents ranging from tonescales to steganography. Ann McNamara is a research member of the Vision and Graphics Laboratory at the University of Bristol, where she works on image evaluation and comparison using data collected from psychophysical experiments. Her area of interest mainly focuses on evaluating the fidelity of computer imagery to real scenes, with an emphasis on human observer evaluation. She has published a number of papers outlining these results Dr Karol Myszkowski is currently a visiting senior researcher at the Max-Planck-Before he joined academia he worked for computer graphics industry developing global illumination and rendering software. His current research is investigating the role of human perception to improving the performance of photo-realistic rendering and animation techniques. Bristol. He has a background in vision science, and his current research is investigating the way in which human vision samples the natural visual environment, especially on the role of colour information in such environments.
