TRIBUTE PAID TO BRYCE BAYER, FATHER OF DIGITAL IMAGING
'ഡിജിറ്റല് ഇമേജിങിന്റെ പിതാവ്'
ബ്രൈസ് ബേയര് അന്തരിച്ചു
His work helped pave the way for the development of the first
working digital camera a year later. Steve Sasson, the Kodak engineer
responsible for that step forward, said that Bayer’s contributions were not
only pioneering but prophetic.“We weren’t even thinking about digital cameras
in those days,” Sasson recalled. “Bryce was trying to figure out how to capture
color with a two-dimensional array of color-blind sensors, and that turned out
to be one of the foundations of digital imaging. He was solving a fundamental
problem before that problem was even upon us.”“Bryce has always been a hero for
me,” Sasson added.That sentiment was echoed by Ken Parulski, who received more
than 200 digital imaging patents during his career at Kodak.
“I feel very lucky to have worked with Bryce, starting on my
very first day at Kodak,” Parulski said. “Bryce was so modest and unassuming,
it took me years to realize what a genius he really was.”Parulski said that Bayer’s
invention is the key reason we have cameras that are compact yet provide
sharp-looking pictures. “Though few people in Rochester have heard of Bryce,
his name and invention is a household name to everyone who designs digital
cameras or camera phones,” he said.In addition to his work on digital color
imaging, Bayer developed a number of technologies for storing and processing
digital images. He retired from Kodak in the mid-1990s.
നവംബര് 13 ന് മെയ്നിലെ ബ്രന്സ്വിക്കിലാണ്
ബേയര് അന്തരിച്ചതെന്ന് വാര്ത്താഏജന്സി റിപ്പോര്ട്ട് ചെയ്തു. മരണകാരണം
വെളിപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടില്ല. 1990 കളുടെ മധ്യേയാണ് അദ്ദേഹം
കൊഡാക്കില് നിന്ന് വിരമിച്ചത്.
