Society for Imaging Science and Technology

The first place technical professionals and users go for knowledge on techniques, processes, and systems for imaging.

IS&T encompasses all aspects of imaging science, with particular emphasis on digital printing, electronic imaging, color science, image preservation, photofinishing, pre-press technologies, hybrid imaging systems, and silver halide research.

In 1947, a group of 81 researchers from the National Archives, US Navy, National Bureau of Standards, MIT, Georgetown University, Bell & Howell, and Eastman Kodak worked together to form the Society of Photographic Engineers. The Society changed its name in April 1957 to the Society of Photographic Scientists and Engineers (SPSE), and again on January 29, 1992 to the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T).

This site introduces IS&T and its peer-reviewed journals for the Chinese imaging community at imaging.org.cn.

• Electronic Imaging Symposium (EI) Multiple conferences under one roof spanning imaging science — from capture through processing to display and viewing. Held annually in Burlingame, CA.
• Color and Imaging Conference (CIC) For more than 30 years, CIC has explored all aspects of color science, from AR/VR to print, from color models to material appearance.
• Archiving Conference Best practices for digitization, imaging, preservation, workflow, and access for cultural heritage professionals.
• Advanced Inkjet Technology Brings together R&D industry specialists, academic researchers, key technology suppliers, and end users to shape the future of inkjet technology.
• digiTIPS Digitizing to International Imaging Performance Standards — an online series of one-day curated talks focused on cultural heritage guidelines and best practices.
• Webinars & Student Seminars Online talks covering deep learning, image quality standards, and more. Best Paper awardees present research in a collegial online environment.

IS&T publishes peer-reviewed research that documents imaging science, bridges perception and technology, and advances electronic imaging systems.
