Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology SPIE Symposium

[Michael P. Lesser]

Hi Everyone!

We have only received a few astronomy related abstracts for next years SPIE
symposium even though it is past the abstract deadline.  If any of you would
like to present a paper please contact me.  Last year we had some excellent 
papers relating to CCDs, especially for astronomy and digital imaging. 

If you can present a paper, please let me know right away so we can arrange for
a late abstract.  The symposium is huge and offers and excellent opportunity to
see exhibits and papers in all areas of Electronic Imaging.

Thank you!

-Michael Lesser

Cameras and Systems

Part of IS&T/SPIE's 1997 Symposium on 
Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology
8-14 February 1997
San Jose Convention Center
San Jose, California   USA


Conference Chairs: Michael Lesser, Univ. of Arizona, Steward Observatory;
Wesley A. Miller, Eastman Kodak Co. Microelectronic Technology

CCD-based cameras and scanners have found wide applicability in consumer,
commercial and scientific imaging applications. Advances are continuing in
areas such as digital photography, astronomy, spectroscopy, highway safety,
industrial inspection, and in many others. In addition, image processing within
the cameras or in dedicated computers connected to the cameras comprise
systems with analytical capabilities and intelligence that was unimagined only
a short time ago.

In this conference we solicit papers that describe cameras and camera
technologies for: 

*    astronomy
*    digital photography
*    computers
*    spectroscopy, microscopy
*    slow scan, low noise, high speed, high resolution, low light level, and
other applications
*    remote sensing
*    new and novel applications.

Papers addressing issues such as camera intelligence, interfaces, image
storage technologies, 
signal processing, and A/D conversion are also welcome.

This conference is just one of nearly 30 conferences to be held at the EI'97
symposium. And EI'97 is one of 4 collocated symposia (Electronic Imaging,
Biomedical Optics, Lasers and Applications, and Optoelectronics).
