Background on Perception and Graphics
Computers are becoming faster, smaller and more interconnected
creating a shift in their primary function from computation to
communication. Digital cameras and camcorders are making high-quality
image acquisition ubiquitous. Advances in display technology allow a
range of deployments, from high-definition wall displays to miniature
embedded screens. At the same time, progress in networking and
storage technologies allow large quantities of image and video data to
be provided whenever desired. These trends are exemplified by
phenomena such as cellular phones with cameras, PDAs with video
capability, information displays in automobiles, networked home media
appliances, and computer screens in elevators and refrigerators. As
communication devices and viewing situations become more plentiful, we
need imagery that facilitates visual communication across a wide range
of display devices.
