Travels with Dan
I'll be in Scottsdale Arizona next week for the Video Processing and Quality Metric conference. Some of the papers being presented sound like they will be interesting. While some leave me wondering.
For example, "WHICH COLORS BEST CATCH YOUR EYES: A SUBJECTIVE STUDY OF COLOR SALIENCY" a presentation that will cover (I'm guessing here) rod and cone sensitivity and response. To me, this seems like a rather silly discussion to be held as a lot of the research for this occurred many many years ago. More importantly, didn't the US military pay many millions of dollars to discover that green received the most response from the human visual system? Wasn't that the reason low-light goggles project in a green tone? There are of course other presentations with similar questions, and I look forward to being proven wrong.
I'll see what I can transcribe from the conference. The website makes no mention of wireless access in the auditorium. If anyone in the Scottsdale area wants to meet, let me know.
