Foundations of Photography (eBook, PDF)

A Treatise on the Technical Aspects of Digital Photography

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers an in-depth technical presentation of photography and details about the inner workings of the digital camera, while keeping the artistic principles in mind. Departing from the current stream, the book treats photography as a highly scientific and technical subject, and serves as a reference to those who seek for an understanding of the technical aspects relating to the photographic camera, the beating heart of photography. It offers insight on why the photographs are created the way they are, highlighting also the limitations. As the author of this book is an image technology scientist and a photography enthusiast who has been teaching photography for a long time, this treatise reflects his own constant search and study for an in-depth understanding.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Pavlidis holds a Diploma and a PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. His doctoral research focused on digital image processing and in particular on the optimal segmentation and compression of mixed document images, for which he received the Ericsson Award of Excellence in Telecommunications. He has worked on a variety of research and development projects, education & lifelong learning programs, computerization activities for the public, private and industrial sectors, as well as multimedia projects at a professional level. In 2002 he joined the Athena Research Center where he serves as a "Research Director" (Researcher A'). He has been the head of the Multimedia Department and head of research at the Clepsydra - Cultural Heritage Digitization Center. He is intensely involved in research and development projects, national and European, and had the opportunity to work in a wide range of research and innovation activities, including typical monothematic engineering and IT subjects, as well as cross-disciplinary topics in broad interdisciplinary groups (archeology, art history, museology, archaeometry, education). His research interests focus on digital image and multimedia technologies, content analysis and retrieval, machine learning and artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction, intelligent interactive environments, multi-sensory environments and ubiquitous and ambient intelligence, 3D digitization, as well as cross-reality applications. He has been a member of numerous scientific, technical and management committees and is the creator and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Computational Methods in Heritage Science. He has served as an evaluator of research and development projects as well as a reviewer of research proposals. He is a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece, a member of the Association of Greek Researchers, a founding member of the Association of Researchers of the Athena Research Center, a senior member of the IEEE, a member of the CAA and a Board member of CAA-Gr.
