Tribute to Francis SCHMITT
Sunday, October 20, 2019 - Telecom Paris - 46 rue Barrault - 75013 Paris France
A workshop dedicated to the memory of Francis SCHMITT, who served from 1974 to 2008 as a professor in image processing at Telecom Paris (former ENST = Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications).
Pr. Schmitt contributed to the creation of the
image processing lab there, set-up the courses on Color, 3D, Image Synthesis and Virtual Reality. He devoted his research to the precise measurement of colour from real objects, to the conception of reliable colour management
processes, to powerful and accurate meshing techniques for 3D object representation. Many of his theoretical contributions in these domains were developed in support of Museum collection protection and diffusion.
