Marius Pedersen defended PhD thesis
Colorlab congratulates Marius Pedersen for successfully defending his PhD thesis today at the University of Oslo, Institute of Informatics. He is employed at the Norwegian Colour Research Laboratory at the Faculty of Computer Science and Media Technology at Gjøvik University College (GUC).
The full title of the thesis is «Image quality metrics for the evaluation of printing workflows». The thesis focuses on development of methods for measuring perceived image quality.
The work with the doctoral thesis has resulted in several scientific publications and a software for use in industry. The software contains all necessary functions for measuring image quality. -This software can be used to compare the quality of different products or used as a tool in the development of new technologies and new products, Marius Pedersen says.
His thesis measures the perceived image quality divided into groups of quality factors. These quality factors have been determined by a number of experiments and surveys conducted by Pedersen. For each quality factor suitable methods have been found by comparing methods of the perceived quality in several experiments. For quality factors where methods did not exist or the prediction of perceived quality did not measure with sufficient accuracy, new methods have been proposed and evaluated. A complete framework for using these methods in the print media have also been developed and tested.
The work with the doctoral thesis is financed by Océ Print Logic Technologies, Créteil, France.
Marius Pedersen has been under the supervision of Professor Jon Yngve Hardeberg (Gjøvik University College), Professor Fritz Albregtsen (University of Oslo) and Nicolas Bonnier (Océ).
