The Portuguese IEEE Signal Processing Chapter invites to IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Distinguished Lecture by Farhan Baqai (Apple, USA), with the title "Digital Camera Signal Processing - History, Recent Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities.”
The lecture will take place in ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, Auditorium A302 (Building 4), on November 28th, at 14h30, and is open to all interested participants.
Farhan Baqai has an extensive track record and impressive contributions to the area of digital photography, both in Industry and Academia.
Abstract:
In a relatively short period, the digital camera has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. The pace at which innovations are being made in this area is remarkable. The exciting aspect is that there is much more to come. In this talk, we review the evolution of digital cameras from camera obscura to film to digital to mobile. Along the way, we identify events that precipitated the change to a digital photography ecosystem. We briefly discuss practices and assumptions that are prevalent in the scientific community and look at a few signal-processing solutions that we have developed over the years for problems in digital photography. Using these examples we demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of digital camera image processing. We present recent results to show the progress that has been achieved in computational photography on mobile cameras and conclude with challenges and opportunities.
Bio
Farhan Baqai earned a M.S. and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Before that, he received a Master of Engineering Science degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia and a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan. After his PhD, he worked on halftoning algorithms for inkJet printers at Xerox Corporation and on digital camera image processing at the Sony US Research Center. Currently, he is a Senior Research Manager at Apple Inc. where he leads a research group focused on the development of state-of-the-art algorithms for digital photography.

The purpose of the International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications (CHIRA) is to bring together professionals, academics, and students interested in advancing research and practical applications of interaction design & human-computer interaction. Four parallel tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Computer-Human Interaction, including Human Factors and Information Systems, Interactive Devices, Interaction Design, and Adaptive and Intelligent Systems.
Papers describing original work on advanced methods, prototypes, systems, tools, and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are encouraged. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and published in the Proceedings of CHIRA, which will be placed in at least one Digital Library and sent for indexation by the major international indexes.
CONFERENCE AREAS
Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:
1. HUMAN FACTORS FOR INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS, RESEARCH, AND APPLICATIONS
2. INTERACTIVE DEVICES
3. INTERACTION DESIGN
4. ADAPTIVE AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
PAPER SUBMISSION
All papers must be submitted through the online submission platform PRIMORIS and should follow the instructions and templates that can be found under Guidelines and Templates. After the paper submission has been completed, authors will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail.
