As a refresher for those who did make it and a discovery for those who couldn’t, we will be publishing a series of transcripts from last year’s LDV Vision Summit. First on our list is this conversation around computational photography and video from some of the top experts in the field
the camera as we know it is changing. A revolution in digital imaging research could surpass the camera obscura in almost every technical way: resolution, size and energy efficiency. It’s called computational photography
So what exactly are these technologies? How will they impact existing image recognition API developers? And how useful could they be for photo app developers who don’t have the resources to develop image recognition technology themselves?
Adobe has already apologized for fumbling its latest Lightroom update, which was riddled with bugs and missing features. Now there’s a new story that’s
Over the weekend, reclusive North Korea held a massive military parade and numerous other mass performances to commemorate the 70th anniversary of its ruling Workers’ Party, inviting foreign media to cover the event in Pyongyang. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who oversaw the proceedings alongside high-ranking party members, made a statement that his country was ready to fight any war waged by the United States.
The team will continue to work hard to earn your trust back in subsequent releases and I look forward to reigniting the type of dialog we started in 2006.
Can we trust algorithms to pass judgement on what constitutes a “beautiful” image or is that criteria so subjective that it doesn’t really matter who (or what) is judging?
The problem in the case of scaling the image to a larger size is when there are too many ‘new’ values to be filled in the image. These algorithms try to make “guesses” of what the new values should be but this introduces errors in the process which leads to noise, haloing, and artifacts.
This is the story of how we are building Grid, the Guardian’s new image management system, working very closely with our editorial colleagues and using a modern technology stack. Oh, and it’s all Open Source.

Before you head out for your next vacation, you may want to consider what your photos on Flickr reveal about your travel plans. A new study published in
As photography goes beyond a daily or even hourly exchange, it stops becoming a distraction from life; rather, it is life. “People are showing their lives not to create a document but as a part of living. If we were dogs we’d be peeing on fire hydrants. but instead we’re posting to Instagram and Facebook,” Mayes says.
Web ads are dramatically different from prior ad media, though — rather than just being printed on paper or inserted into a broadcast, web ads are software. They run arbitrary code on your computer, which can (and usually does) collect and send data about you and your behavior back to the advertisers and publishers. And there’s so much consolidation amongst ad networks and analytics providers that they can easily track your behavior across multiple sites, building a creepily accurate and deep profile of your personal information and private business.
Whenever I try to take a photo through a plane or hotel window, chances are there are plenty of reflections that show up on the final image and ruin it. Now, however, Google and MIT researchers have found a way to take these photos and automatically remov
And here is where it gets spooky: because the algorithm has to detect the reflection in a window, for example, it can also create a clear picture of the reflection
The thing about print adverts was that they stayed where they were. Photo by Bethan on Flickr. TL:DR: when Apple’s iOS 9 comes out in September, there’s going to be a dramatic uptake of…
That’s where we’re at: websites are getting overloaded with ads, beacons, trackers and scripts that are all scrambling over each other in their attempt to squeeze the last bit of information about us from every page.
But nobody asked us, the readers, along the way whether that was OK. And now, people are deciding that it’s not OK.
What Camera Companies Do With Raw Files Is Against Photographer’s Best Interests It’s that time of year when newly announced cameras are hitting the stores. This means that they are also crossing my desk for review. It’s a fun time, with one exception. Ra
The camera industry, with just a handful of exceptions, continues to insist on proprietary raw files. Every single new camera as it’s introduced produces a proprietary raw file which can not be read by any previous image processing software. This means that until Adobe, Phase One, DxO and others get around to writing support for the new file format for each and every new camera as it comes out, the user is forced to download, install and use the manufacturer’s proprietary raw processing software
Battling heavy critics of light field technology, Rosenthal talked to us about what his vision for the future is and why the technology will introduce an even bigger revolution than color photograph did when it was first introduced.
We thought it would be wise to run a few of the deep learning automated tagging services through a series of tests, not only to compare their accuracy but to also gauge the overall limitations.

A new study from L2 Insight on Instagram advertising reveals that the photo sharing app has slowly but effectively integrated Facebook user data in its offering
Using specific user case, the L2’s report sheds a deep inquisitive light on what appears to be a very well-crafted and effective strategy to take full advantage of Facebook’s data to deliver unique advertiser experience
On Tuesday, Instagram began tapping into the 70 million photos and videos posted daily to its service to put its 300 million users in the middle of current events, including Taylor Swift’s latest concert and the memorials to the victims of the Emanuel A.M.E. Church shootings.
