Alan Chalmers is Professor of Visualisation and Royal Society Industrial Fellow at University of Warwick and co-founder of the spinout company TrueDR Ltd. Previously he was a founder and CEO of the spinout company goHDR Ltd. He has published over 230 papers in journals and international conferences on high-fidelity virtual environments and HDR imaging and successfully supervised 37 PhD students. He is Honorary President of Afrigraph, a Fellow of the ERA Foundation, and formerly Vice President of ACM SIGGRAPH. Together with SpheronVR, he was instrumental in the development of the worlds first HDR video camera, which was completed in July 2009. From 2011-2015 he was Chair of the EU COST Action IC1005 HDRi: The digital capture, storage, transmission and display of real-world lighting” [ ic1005]. This co-ordinated research and development in HDR across 25 EU countries and 44 institutions. In addition, Chalmers is a UK representative on IST/37 considering HDR standards within MPEG. Patrizio Campisi received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy, where he is Full Professor at the Section of Applied Electronics, Dept. of Engineering. His research interests are in the area of secure multimedia communications and biometrics. Specifically, he has been working on secure biometric recognition, digital watermarking, image deconvolution, image analysis, stereo image and video processing, blind equalization of data signals, and secure communications. He has been the General Chair of the seventh IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security”, WIFS 2015, November 2015, Rome, Italy, and of the 12th ACM Workshop on Multimedia and Security, September 2010, Italy. He has been technical co-Chair of the 1st ACM Workshop on Information Hiding and Multimedia Security, June 2013,France and of the ”Fourth IEEE Workshop on Information Forensics and Security”, WIFS 2012, December 2012, Spain. He is the editor of the book ”Security and Privacy in Biometrics”, SPRINGER, July 2013. He is co-editor of the book ”Blind Image Deconvolution: theory and applications”, CRC press, May 2007. He is co-recipient of an IEEE ICIP06 and IEEE BTAS 2008 best student paper award and of an IEEE Biometric Symposium 2007 best paper award. He has been Associate editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters and of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security. He is currently Senior Associate editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters. He is IEEE SPS Director Student Services. He is a member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Information Assurance & Intelligent Multimedia-Mobile Communications, System, Man, and Cybernetics Society and was a member of the IEEE Certified Biometric Program (CBP) Learning System Committee. Peter Shirley is a Distinguished Research Scientist at NVIDIA. He was formally a co-founder two software companies and a professor at various universities. He received a BS in Physics from Reed College in 1985 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Illinois in 1991. He is the coauthor of several books on computer graphics and a variety of technical articles. His professional interests include interactive and HDR imaging, computational photography, realistic rendering, statistical computing, visualization, and immersive environments. Dr. Igor Garcķa Olaizola obtained his degree in Electronics Engineering by the Universidad of Navarra (Tecnun) in (2001). In 2001 he worked as research assistant in Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen (IIS), Erlangen (Germany) were he worked in the development of MPEG audio decoders (MP3 & AAC) on FPGAs and DSPs. In 2002 he started as part of the research team of Vicomtech. In 2006 he worked for Vilau (a media engineering company) in consulting, depevelopment and deployment activities especially in the Digital TV market. Since 2007, Igor is the head of Digital Media department in Vicomtech where he has actively participated in R&D projects related with Media Production and Broadcasting technologies. In 2013 he received his PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence by the Faculty of Computer Science of the University of the Basque Country. Igor participated in the COST Action IC1005 HDRi as dissemination chair and currently is associated lecturer in Tecnun. His main research interests are related with multimedia processing and analysis techniques with a special focus on broadcasting technologies.
