Welcome to
International Symposium on Foundations of Visual Information
The study on visual information is approached from the various aspects, and each has a long history. For instance, there are the physical aspect studying optical phenomena in natural lighting environment, the physiological aspect studying neural system in brain, the psychological aspect studying various perceptual phenomena of images projected by the vision system into the brain, the engineering aspect studying various imaging and rendering systems, and the design aspect studying the improvement of image quality.
These aspects are mutually related to one another. The comprehensive research and evaluation taken from a viewpoint of the whole visual system has become necessary. The Study Group on Foundations of Visual Information (SIGFVI) was founded in 2009 aiming to discuss the comprehensively and transversely a variety of problems on visual information. Especially in this study group, we discuss the problems from sequential flow of acquisition, processing and recognition, and production of visual information, as well as to discuss the latest research and applications in various fields. In order to further develop the achievements of this study group, we organize an international symposium.
We are pleased to inform you that The International Symposium on Foundations of Visual Information will be held in Tokyo on September 19, 2015. We have also organized invited lectures. These lectures will be provide by the international famous researchers, Prof. Brian A. Wandell (Stanford Univ.), Dr. Joyce Farrell (Stanford Univ.), and Prof. M. Ronnier Luo (Univ.of Leeds and Zhejiang Univ.), as well as the powerful young researchers, Miguel Ángel Martínez-Domingo, Luis Rosales Roldan, Hsin-Ni Ho, Ying Fu, and Midori Tanaka.
We will also hold an evening reception. This symposium will provide unique interaction opportunities for researchers, academics, students, engineers and industrialists.
Please check the following details and register with the symposium. Thank you.

Invited Talks
Prof. Brian A. Wandell, Stanford University
Talk title : "Learning the Image-processing Pipeline"
Many creative ideas are being proposed for image sensor designs, and these may be useful in applications ranging from consumer photography to computer vision. To understand and evaluate each new design, we must create a corresponding image-processing pipeline that transforms the sensor data into a form that is appropriate for the application. The need to design and optimize these pipelines is time-consuming and costly. I explain a method that combines machine learning and image systems simulation that automates the pipeline design. The approach is based on a new way of thinking of the image-processing pipeline as a large collection of local linear filters. Finally, I illustrate how the method has been used to design pipelines for consumer photography and mobile imaging.
Biography:
Brian A. Wandell is the first Isaac and Madeline Stein Family Professor. He joined the Stanford Psychology faculty in 1979 and is a member, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering and Ophthalmology. Wandell is the founding director of Stanford's Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging, and a Deputy Director of the Stanford Neuroscience Institute. He is the author of the vision science textbook Foundations of Vision. His research centers on vision science, spanning topics from visual disorders, reading development in children, to digital imaging devices and algorithms for both magnetic resonance imaging and digital imaging. In 1996, together with Prof. J. Goodman, Wandell founded Stanford's Center for Image Systems Engineering.
Dr. Joyce Farrell, Stanford University
Talk title : "Color Metrics for the Colorblind"
The CIELAB color difference metric is an international standard that predicts how well a standard observer can detect the difference between two colors. The metric is often used in industry contracts to specify color tolerances. In this talk, I will describe a theoretical idea and experimental data that extend the CIELAB color difference metric to observers who are missing one cone type (dichromats). Dichromatic-CIELAB (D- CIELAB) maps the two cone responses in dichromats into three cone responses that are expected to be equivalent in color normals. The mapping is motivated by a theoretical principle that treats color appearance as a constrained spectral estimation process. We test this theory and D-CIELAB with human experimental data. Finally, we show how to apply the method to simulate the color appearance of non-standard observers, including people who are color anomalous and those who may undergo gene therapy for color blindness.

Prof. M. Ronnier Luo, University of Leeds and Zhejiang University
Talk title : "Colour Science: Present and Future"
The talk will first cover the six part series of CIE colormetry standard. It forms the basis of colour science. Three future developments in the extension of colorimetry will be introduced in three areas: comprehensive colour appearance model, mesopic vision for unrelated colours, and age- and field-size parameterised colour matching function. Finally, some urgent demands in colour and lighting appliations will also be introduced such as colour rendering, white perception.

He is also a Vice-President of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). He received his PhD in 1986 at the University of Bradford in the field of colour science. He has over 450 publications in relation to colour, imaging and LED illumination. He is a Fellow of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology, and the Society of Dyers and Colourists.
