We are happy to announce that CP7 researcher Teun Baar at OCÉ had a successful mid term evaluation on April 1, 2014, for the research and training done till now in this PhD. The aim of his work done till now was to control additional channels to current printing systems that are introduced next to the standard CMYK colour channels, and to create a system to translate multi-dimensional image data to actual printouts. Such multi-channel images contain, for example, information of spectral colour, 3D surface or relief, or local reflectance functions. His work mainly did concentrate on the extra dimension being the z-axis, by controlling the surface modulation of the printout, influencing the reflection properties of the print surface. In the near future, the work should result in a journal publication.

We are happy to inform that 3 papers submitted by the CP7 researchers are accepted at the IARIGAI 2014 conference to be held in Swansea, UK, in September, 2014. For more details please click here.
CP7 researcher Radovan Slavuj from GUC, Gjøvik visited associate partner Fraunhofer FOKUS for a 3 weeks secondments with the aim to work and collaborate with scientist Dr. Jeremie Gerhardt at FOKUS on inverse printer models and halftoning for multi-channel printing. Radovan’s research involves inverse printer models and integration with halftoning. Through this secondment Radovan focused on optimising these printer and halftoning models for multi-channel printing environment.

Steven Le Moan’s visit to Gjøvik
CP7 experienced researcher Steven Le Moan from TUD, Germany visited Gjøvik University College on a 3 week secondment to use the Colorlab’s equipment and expertise to make hyper spectral acquisitions of different scenes and objects with the aim to generate a spectral image database. Steven collaborated with researchers from Gjøvik University College (Dr. Sony George and PhD student Ruven Pillay) in acquiring the images. This secondment provided Steven with an opportunity to work and experience with hyper-spectral acquisitions and collaborate outside the CP7 project. In the near future, the work should result in a publication describing the database.
We are happy to announce that CP7 researcher G M Atiqur Rahaman atVoxvil has successfully defended his licentiate thesis on February 28, 2014 at Mid Sweden University , Faculty of Science, Technology and Media. This licentiate thesis is entitled “Image Analysis Approach for Modeling Color Predictions in Printing” and is in Natural Science. For more details please click here.
At ST&T/SPIE EI2014 conference, the fellow researchers participated in setting up a CP7.0 project demonstration table during the demonstration session on tuesday evening, February 4, 2014. This session, during the conference provided a unique networking opportunity, a time when attendees could see the latest research in action, compare commercial products and ask questions to technically knowledgeable demonstrators.

After the special session at MMRMA conference in Electronic Imaging 2014 which was in San Francisco USA, CP7 consortium took the opportunity to visit the Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering (SCIEN) at Stanford University campus. SCIEN is located at the David Packard Electrical Engineering department at Stanford University campus. For more details please click here.
A special session was organised by the CP7.0 consortium in the MMRMA conference at Electronic Imaging 2014. Prof. Jon Yngve Hardeberg gave an invited talk on CP7.0 project goals, challenges and accomplishments. A total of 10 papers are published by the consortium (at the MMRMA conference) in EI2014. The details of the papers published and presented at EI2014 can be found here.
The fourth training event of the project was organised at TUD, Darmstadt, Germany on December 2 – 6, 2013. The event was attended by all the research fellows as part of the training program in the CP7.0 project.
The training covered the area of gamut mapping in the colour reproduction field along with spectral imaging workflow and traditional printing workflows in detail. To know more, please click here.
CP7 researchers Steven Le Moan and Sepideh Samadzadegan presented their work at the twenty first Color Imaging Conference (CIC) held recently from 4 – 8 November 2013 in Albuquerque, NM, USA. CIC is one of the most coveted conferences in the area of colour imaging. The following research papers were presented by Steven Le Moan and Sepideh Samadzadegan at CIC:
