The President’s Focus

The New Face of I3A

We all know that the imaging industry has been undergoing one of the most significant and fastest technology-driven metamorphoses in recent industrial history. Companies have had to completely reinvent themselves with revised business models, closures and acquisitions. Industry leaders have evolved into entirely new companies with bright futures in new billion dollar markets. New entrants are emerging from all around the world, challenging and stimulating incumbents.

Lisa Walker

“With I3A’s combination of experience and new energy, I see great things ahead.”

I3A, too, has evolved far from its roots as a traditional standards developing organization. I’m pleased to report that I3A is taking the lead in driving collaboration between these new businesses and competitors and helping to move an emerging and revitalized imaging industry forward. We have applied a finely-tuned consortium approach to solving the industry’s ecosystem barrier issues more swiftly than ever. For a standards administration organization that started out in the film photography market back in 1946, the transition is nothing short of amazing. With our current combination of experience, new energy and direction, I see great things ahead.

In the past several months, we’ve gained entirely new categories of member companies. Mobile handset manufacturers, software companies and silicon chip vendors all have reason to participate in I3A. Motorola and Nokia, for example, have joined the I3A board of directors, working alongside traditional photography and digital imaging companies.

Just a few weeks into 2007, we have already reached several significant milestones. We are introducing the Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) initiative’s preliminary results to the European market at 3GSM. And we have launched www.savemymemories.org, the first deliverable of the Consumer Photo Preservation (CPP) Initiative. These exciting developments are the result of collaboration among new members and long-term contributors.

The Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) initiative is already showing what the combination of long-time member experience and new member perspective can achieve. The CPIQ Initiative addresses the issue of image quality, which affects every aspect of the camera phone ecosystem. I3A is the first organization to bring a cross industry solution to this critical issue.

We are producing our first CPIQ Technical Forum at 3GSM in Barcelona, February 14. We will introduce the preliminary results of this initiative in Europe, and generate additional awareness and participants for the next phase of work. We are also producing the upcoming Tech Forum in order to make the industry more broadly aware of our efforts. We invite additional companies to join us for CPIQ Phase 2. The CPIQ Phase 2 effort will develop concrete recommendations for standard metrics and methodology for measuring and testing camera phone image quality, and will incorporate some of the subjective components of image quality. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a consumer-oriented rating system for camera phone image quality.

While the industry has been zooming along developing intriguing new technologies, few consumers realize that the billions of digital images they’re snapping every year require new methods for preservation. The need to safeguard our visual heritage today, and in the future, is as important as ever.

I3A’s work in the area of digital photo archiving for consumers, the CPP initiative, has taken the first step in a campaign to address the ongoing problem of safe-guarding consumers’ precious photo memories in digital formats. Our new Web site, www.savemymemories.org, takes on this problem by offering consumers important, previously little-known facts and guidelines on photo preservation methods and media.

Phase One of the Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ) Initiative is nearly complete. The CPIQ 1.0 White Paper, due later this year, will focus primarily on the objective aspects of camera phone image quality, and will include a preliminary review of attributes that affect image quality, plus an overview of current best practices, standards and metrics.

Since its launch in June 2006, I3A’s CPIQ Initiative, made up of key players in the mobile imaging industry, has been working to remove poor image quality as the top barrier to the utilization and enjoyment of camera phones by consumers.

The Initiative also seeks to promote growth of the camera phone imaging eco-system, and to encourage consumers to take, share, print and enjoy images captured by their camera phones.

The group’s ultimate objective is to produce a complete set of image quality testing metrics and methodologies, enabling a consumer-oriented image quality rating system. The Phase One White Paper, the first step toward that end goal, will contain an evaluation of existing best practices and industry standards, and will define a list of key measures/metrics in each of several critical CPIQ areas. The camera phone photospace will be described, and an initial subjective evaluation method for CPIQ discussed.

February 14 CPIQ Tech Forum at 3GSM

CPIQ 1.0 White Paper contents and the Initiative’s future direction will be discussed in detail at an I3A Technical Forum to be held at the 3GSM World Congress on Wednesday, February 14.

I3A’s day-long December 7, 2006 Tech Forum on the subject of Camera Phone Image Quality, held at Stanford University in California, was a resounding success, with nearly 100 attendees from more than 40 organizations.

Presenters at the Tech Forum offered their collective expertise, and Initiative participants shared what they have learned so far about the issues surrounding camera phone image quality metrics and their likely solutions.

The fact that many companies sent multiple participants, even with the $100 fee per person, demonstrates not only the high interest in this topic but the strength of the program. And the fact that, though the majority of attendees are also participants in the CPIQ Initiative, a significant number are not, shows the broad appeal and importance of the subject. Clearly, I3A is addressing compelling industry issues.

With opening remarks from Dr. Joyce Farrell, Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering, and I3A’s president, Lisa Walker, the day was packed with punch.

Industry Briefs

HP Reveals MediaSmart Home Server Details
HP’s MediaSmart server is based on the Windows Home Server OS, announced by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates in his CES keynote address. The server was designed to be a thin version of the full-fledged Windows Server, which typically uses an Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron server processor as a foundation for enterprise software. According to a preliminary spec sheet released by HP, however, the new MediaSmart server will only require a relatively slow 1.8-GHz Sempron, AMD’s version of the low-cost Intel Celeron processor. The spec sheet does not list the amount of DRAM included in the machine.

Kodak Bets on Digital, Sells its Health Imaging Division

Eastman Kodak Co. is selling its health-imaging business, created after the discovery of X-rays in 1895, to Canadian investment firm Onex Corp. for up to $2.55 billion as the picture-taking pioneer bets its future on digital photography and commercial printing.

Motorola Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Sales and Earnings
Motorola managed to grab 4.3 percent more in handset market share during its fourth quarter, but suffered a 48 percent drop in net income as a result. The slimming margins on the budget-priced cell phones for emerging markets created the financial downturn, which the company warned The Street about two weeks ago. While sales increased 17 percent year-over-year to $11.8 billion, original expectations called for a sales estimate between $11.8 billion and $12.1 billion. To offset the loss, Motorola will cut 3,500 jobs, bringing in an expected savings of $400 million over two years.

Nokia Delays Merger With Siemens
Nokia announced that it would hold off on merging its telecom equipment assets with Siemens because of the rising fallout from the corruption probe at Siemens. The companies said they plan to close the deal in the first quarter of 2007 instead of the first day of the new year, as originally planned. The merged entity, a 50-50 JV called Nokia Siemens Networks would create a company with $21 billion in annual revenue. That puts it third behind Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson.

Samsung, Nokia sued over Bluetooth patents
A foundation named the Washington Research Institute (WRI) has filed a lawsuit against Matsushita, Samsung and Nokia, alleging that Bluetooth technology infringes on its patented work carried out at the University of Washington. WRI filed the suit in December and seeks unspecified damages. The WRI’s lawyer Michael Lisa claimed that the foundation "will not refuse reasonable settlements, but if we don’t get an offer to do so, we are going to trial." The lawsuit claims that computers, mobile phones and headsets made by the three companies violate four patents held by WRI. Each of the defendants uses chipsets made by U.K. firm CSR, which WRI claims has not licensed the technology.

Walkman phone, emerging markets boost Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson more than tripled its net profit to $577.3 million in the fourth quarter. The company shipped 26 million handsets during the period to end the quarter with a 9% share of the global handset market.

Sprint unveils dual-mode handsets
Sprint introduced a line of PowerSource handsets from Motorola designed to bring together Sprint’s CDMA network and the iDEN network. The dual-mode iDEN/CDMA handsets support push-to-talk services.

Digital Photography Trends

Cameras will have to fit in with widescreen TV
We’re in the middle of a seismic shift towards thin, flatscreen TVs in the form of LCD and plasma panels. But there’s another revolution that isn’t always recognized: the move from squarish 4:3 screens to the widescreen 16:9 format. And because so many of us are moving to 16:9 now, it makes sense for the photos and home movies we’re showing on our TVs to be in the same format.

It’s All in the Software
Manage your images, projects, and studio with cutting-edge entries from the market’s most innovative players. Whether you’re looking for a program that will let you touch up your photos, keep track of your studio’s invoices, or create albums on the fly online, today’s manufacturers continue to come up with easy–to–use software solutions that facilitate the pro photographer’s workflow.

Cool New Superzoom Cameras

Digital Single-Lens Reflex (D-SLR) cameras were the media darlings of 2006, boasting new features and lower prices, but camera manufacturers have also made strides in other categories this year, including superzooms, digital cameras that have a 10X optical zoom or greater.

National Archives Digitizes Photos, Documents
Anyone interested in finding out whom the FBI was investigating before it became the FBI or seeing the works of noted Civil War photographer Mathew Brady will soon be able to do so digitally. Footnote Inc. already has digitized 4.5 million pages of historical records and recently signed an agreement with the National Archives to digitize millions more. The next batch of materials to be brought into the Digital Age will be the Archives’ sizable collection of materials currently on microfilm, according to the agency.

New Imaging Sensors That Can Do It In The Dark
At this year’s CES show, the Korean company Planet82 Inc., which produces a number of nanotechnology products, promoted a new type of sensor that can capture images with almost no visible light. By combining features of CCD and CMOS sensor—two of the most commonly produced forms of imaging sensors—the company claims that its single carrier modulation photo detector, or SMPD, sensor functions as an artificial eye by applying silicon photodiode technology and connecting it to nanotechnology. In doing so, it’s able to distinguish images in the dark, without a flash. The names of two of the most recently manufactured chips are the PLP-2033B and PLC-3033C.

Ricoh Releases GPS Digital Camera
Ricoh Corporation, a leader in business solutions, solidified its leadership position in providing cameras with integrated GPS technology by releasing the 500SE GPS-ready digital camera. Developed for outdoor location-based photography, the 500SE boasts extreme ruggedization and high resolution to meet the image quality and all-weather usability demanded by the mobile GPS photographer. The camera’s integrated precision GPS module provides for an all-in-one, easy-to-use device for geo-coding images and video at the time of capture. For applications that require even greater precision, the camera is capable of receiving NMEA data streams from external GPS devices via its on-board Bluetooth® radio.

Sharp Adds Portrait Model to LCDs

Expanding on its recently upgraded line of professional LCD monitors, Sharp introduced the PN-655RU, the first 65-inch LCD display specifically designed to operate in portrait mode. To ensure reliable operation and backlight life for use in portrait mode, Sharp optimized the internal cooling, air flow and backlight system. This model joins the current 65-inch PN-655U, which is designed for landscape mode applications. Also joining the 65-inch lineup is the PN-655RUP (portrait mode version of the PN-655UP, which incorporates an integrated protective acrylic overlay).

Sony upgrades several models to 7.2-megapixel image sensors
Sony is upgrading several of its digital still cameras with higher resolution image sensors. The DSC-W55 and W35 both sport 7.2-megapixel image sensors, which is an upgrade on the 6-megapixel W50 and W30 models currently on sale. Similarly the DSC-S650 and S-700 both offer a 1-megapixel jump over the current 6-megapixel S600 model. The image resolution bump puts the W35 and W55 at the same level as Sony’s W70 model. All three cameras offer 7.2-megapixel resolution while the top-of-the-line W100 model packs an 8.1-megapixel sensor.

Camera Phone Trends

CES Phones Wrap-up: The Year of Mobile Media?

Music-phones, video-phones, TV-phones—they’ve all been out for some years now, in kludgey, early-adopter forms. At CES 2007 and Macworld, though, Verizon, Modeo, Apple, and to a lesser extent, Motorola all showed products that might finally break through and put entertainment and mobile phones together in a way consumers find compelling.

China to issue phone charger standard
China is developing a national standard for mobile phone chargers “to avoid waste and lower costs for users.” The standard should be approved before year-end. The standard expects all mobile phones, regardless of brand, to provide a USB access port for a universal charger, which will also allow for charging via laptops. The report claims the standard will not be compulsory, but the director of a lab in charge of the program, He Guili said, "We believe that the home-brands makers will give positive response to it." He said the standard may take effect during the first half of 2007.
