The research will result in a working prototype of an innovative two-way, high-resolution video and audio communications system, codenamed "GLASS". The prototype is to utilize projection technologies developed by Christie Digital Systems, video cameras, audio capture and playback components, and synchronization software developed by the intern. The system will allow people to communicate over any […]

This project will evaluate the quality of color video displays and will provide quantitative information for color scientists to use to evaluate different models of color differences. The data will be obtained using color normal observers and using non-invasive psychophysical procedures to evaluate color perception with video displays. The results of these experiments in addition […]

High resolution, large area displays are currently realized by tiling multiple projectors. Seamless transition between adjacent projecting areas is achieved by electronics blending, which is unable to correct artifacts in the transition regions especially for dark scenes. We propose a feasibility study of using optical blending techniques as potential solutions to the above problem. We […]

The proposed project is aimed at developing image and signal processing algorithms to enable the Christie VeinViewer® device to determine approximate depth of veins. This is a challenging research project due to the limited amount of information available and real-time fast processing required. The VeinViewer® uses a single infrared wavelength and a CMOS camera to […]

Research into so-called computational displays has shown that new and extended imaging modes can be made possible by augmenting novel optical design with computation. Examples include highdynamic range display via local LED backlights and multilayered autostereoscopic (glasses free 3D) displays. While there has been considerable progress in standard television form-factors, this line of research has […]

The display industry has witnessed rapid growth, in both volume and diversification. In recent years, this trend is expected to persist with continued consumer demand, for example, a wide range of devices such as MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS map readers, portable DVD players, and electronic books, as well as the ubiquitous mobile phone and […]

The quality of projected video plays a huge role in the digital projector market. Methods to increase the quality of projected video at lower costs are constantly being researched. A promising approach to reducing cost and increasing the quality of viewed video is the combination of up-converting the frame rate of high-resolution video and projecting […]
