New developments in image capture and delivery will affect entire entertainme...Technicolor
New developments in image capture and delivery will affect entire entertainment technology value chain - A conversation with Kirk Barker, Senior Vice President, Emerging Products, Technology Division, Technicolor
Technologies such as Ultra-High Definition (UHD), High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) are disruptive agents of change in the film and television industry. At the heart of each is a better entertainment experience for the viewing public, but each has its challenges and benefits.
In this Q&A, Technicolor Senior Vice President Kirk Barker shares his insights on how UHD, HDR and other technologies will evolve. He also discusses what their impact will be on the various players who are leveraging the technologies, from consumer electronics manufacturers to film distributors, and how Technicolor is differentiating itself with its offerings.
The real world scenes have a very wide range of luminance levels. But in the field of photography, the ordinary cameras are not capable of capturing the true dynamic range of a natural scene. To enhance the dynamic range of the captured image, a technique known as High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is generally used. HDR imaging is the process of capturing scenes with larger intensity range than what conventional sensors can capture. It can faithfully capture the details in dark and bright part of the scene. In this paper HDR generation method such as multiple exposure fusion in image domain and radiance domain are reviewed. The main issues in HDR imaging using multiple exposure combination technique are Misalignment of input images, Noise in data sets and Ghosting artefacts. The removal of these artefacts is a major step in HDR reconstruction. Methods for removing misalignment and noise are discussed and detailed survey of ghost detection and removal techniques are given in this paper. Single shot HDR imaging is a recent technique in the field of HDR reconstruction. Here instead of taking multiple exposure input images, a single image is used for generating HDR image. Various methods for Single shot HDR imaging are also reviewed.

High-dynamic range (HDR) video is available to consumers today via both streaming services and optical discs. HDR video is a visually compelling experience that the average consumer can readily differentiate from existing HD content. As such, HDR video is expected to drive the next wave of consumer video. HDR TVs are available today, and HDR monitors will be available this year. The availability of these monitors will allow new user experiences on PCs, including true HDR gaming. This presentation describes what exactly HDR is and the challenges of properly displaying it on existing devices (PCs, laptops, phones, and such.) Some of the unique challenges of HDR include needing to convert content into linear light space for proper blending and scaling. This requires substantially more precision in hardware and software than we use for displaying today’s standard dynamic range content.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Part 1: What is HDR?
HDR is short for High Dynamic Range. In short, it is the ability to bring light
and color to dark or under exposed areas of a picture (its more complicated
than that, but also more boring). The camera is not capable of taking the
whole dynamic range. It leaves parts of the picture under exposed or over
exposed while the rest of the picture is correctly exposed. A true HDR shot is
taken with a number of shots at different exposures. I usually use three, but it
is up the photographer. There has been much debate over the use of three
individual files as opposed to changing the exposure on a single image. They
both have their positives and negatives. For this lesson I will be using one
single image for two reasons. First, if an object is moving in your picture,
taking three different shots will leave you with a blur where the object is
moving. Second, you can make HDR shots out of pictures that you previously
shot.
3. Step One: Preparing the image
I use Adobe Lightroom to adjust the exposures of my images. You can use
any program you like that has this function.
Above is the layout in Lightroom. Use the section towards the
right to adjust the exposure.
4. At this point I will save my first picture using the exposure it was shot (0.00)
and save as a .jpeg church glass 1 in a folder of your choice (note: since there
are going to be numerous shots I would create a specific folder for your HDR
stuff).
5. Next, you want to adjust the exposure of the image.
I usually will under expose my image around Ð1.5 and Ð2.0
Again, this step is up to the photographer. You will get the feel of the HDR exposures as
you get more practice. Next, save the file as church glass 2.jpeg in your specified folder.
6. Now we want to over expose the image. The same goes for over exposures as
under exposures, it is up to you. I used +1.87.
Save the files as church glass 3.jpeg in your folder.
7. Step Three: Turning your images into an HDR Image
Now comes the fun part. We will be merging the three shots into one HDR
image. The beautiful and exciting thing about HDR is that you never know
how itÕs g ing to turn out. I use Photomatix Pro to produce my HDR images.
o
Adobe Photoshop has a plug in, but I donÕ find it to be as dynamic as
t
Photomatix. If you have the newest version of Photoshop I do encourage you
to try it, you may like it better.
I recommend downloading the free trial version of Photomatix at
http://www.hdrsoft.com/ to see if its something you like. Please note, it will
have an annoying watermark on the picture until you decide if you are going to
buy the program.
8. Next, open up your Photomatix program and select Generate HDR Image from
the workflow bar.
Now, select your 3 images by searching in the BrowseÉ section.
9. Once you have all your images selected, hit OK. You will get the following
screens:
Click Ok and then Generate HDR.
10. DONÕ FREAK OUT YET! This is just the raw unprocessed image. Click the
T
Tone Mapping button to process your image.
11. Step Four: Processing your Image.
TADAAAA!! Now you can see what the image will look like as an HDR.
12. In the processing phase I donÕ try to explain how the image should look
t
because I want you to play with all the different settings. Have fun with it and
process it the way you want it. I will give a few tips:
1. A dj ust t h e str e ngt h t o mak e i t mor e o r l e ss Ò a rto o ney Ó.

s
13. Once you feel satisfied with it, click the Process button.
If you would like you can run it through a different post-processing program to
sharpen, adjust contrast, etc. This step is completely optional.
15. Lets give you r s elf a r oun d of ap pl aus e YOU DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
