This Wed ACM SIGGRAPH, Rafal Mantiuk presents ColorVideoVDP: the 1st fully spatiotemporal color-aware metric. Our metric models display geometry & photometry, produces outputs in interpretable just-objectionable-difference units and runs fast. See our project page: cl.cam.ac.uk/research/rainb…

Tune in Monday ACM SIGGRAPH for Kenny Chen’s award-winning paper talk. Our study brings interpretable results on how much power can be saved using perceptual rendering techniques for displays (LCD, OLED, w/wo eye tracking, and more). See our page for details: kenchen10.github.io/projects/sig24…

Come see our work with Zhongshi Jiang & co. on “FaceMap: Distortion-Driven Perceptual Facial Saliency Maps” at SIGGRAPH Asia ➡️ Hong Kong on Dec 6. We studied the perceived importance of face regions, creating saliency maps useful as priors for better face rendering. github.com/facebookresear…

Announcing our SIGGRAPH Asia ➡️ Hong Kong work with Rafal Mantiuk lab studying the perception of distortions in augmented reality (AR) - Our data will help researchers create accurate metrics for AR. Come see the talk on Dec 3rd, and check out the AR-DAVID project page: cl.cam.ac.uk/research/rainb…

Our #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 honourable mention award for our work on AR-DAVID. cl.cam.ac.uk/research/rainb…

Our work on AR-DAVID got the best paper award honorable mention at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024! If you are in Tokyo, come see the talk at 5:16pm - 5:28pm in Hall B7 (1), B Block, Level 7!

Interested in joining my team at Meta? I'm excited to hire two new scientists to join my team. We're looking for scientists that can help us invent 'breakthrough' AR glasses, going past the limits of industry-standard waveguides. metacareers.com/jobs/541094548…

Come see my keynote, "Predicting Visible Differences in Virtual and Augmented Reality", at Electronic Imaging'25. I'll be speaking on Feb 4th, in a joint session: Image Quality and System Performance (IQSP) & Human Vision and Electronic Imaging (HVEI). linkedin.com/posts/pdburns_…

We have a new paper coming out in NTIRE'25 (CVPR workshop) on "Training Neural Networks on RAW and HDR Images for Restoration Tasks". See our manuscript to learn more: achapiro.github.io/ke25/ke25.pdf Work done with colleagues at Meta and Cambridge University Rafal Mantiuk

I will be giving Optica Webinar on ColorVideoVDP: A Visual Difference Predictor for Image, Video and Display Distortions optica.org/events/webinar… via The Optical Society now Optica

Introducing our new SIGGRAPH'25 paper: "What is HDR? Perceptual Impact of Luminance and Contrast in Immersive Displays". We investigated how the contrast and peak luminance of a display impact user preferences. Project page: kenchen10.github.io/projects/sig25…

See "FaceExpressions-70k: A Dataset of Perceived Expression Differences" at SIGGRAPH'25. Our study quantifies the perceived differences between facial expressions (including both inter and intra-expression differences on multiple actors). Project page: avinabsaha.github.io/face-expressio…

ColorVideoVDP-ML was awarded second place in the full reference category of ICME Generalizable HDR & SDR Video Quality. The new metric models both the low-level (ColorVideoVDP) and high-level (ML) human vision. Now the code is available at github.com/gfxdisp/ColorV…

The Electronic Imaging symposium is now accepting submissions! Co-chairs, Damon Chandler, Rafał Mantiuk, and I invite you to submit and attend the Human Vision and Electronic Imaging conference (journal-first deadline: Aug 1, conference deadline: Aug 22)! imaging.org/IST/Conference…
