Research

My research interests are at the intersection of computer graphics, machine vision, optics, imaging, and perception. A significant portion of my research in the past few years has been on high dynamic range imaging and display devices. Brightside Technologies, a startup company commercializing the first true HDR display technology was acquired by Dolby Inc. in 2007. Since then, Brightside has been transformed into Dolby Canada, am imaging research facility operating out of Vancouver. In May 2008, Dolby funded my research chair to support activities in HDR imaging and related topics.
