New SIG: Pixelate

Posted by Ankit Sarkar

The IIIT-D ACM Chapter has launched a new Special Interest Group(SIG) called Pixelate to promote student interest in images and graphics. Anyone interested in anything related to images and graphics – photography, image processing, image editing, creating abstract images, animation –  is welcome to join.

The aim of Pixelate is to provide a platform where the members can learn more about their field through discussions. It also aims to help the members share ideas and work related to the technical and non technical aspects of images. Members are also encouraged to take up research projects related to this field.

Pixelate will be organising some events and workshops in the near future. Some events in planning are a photography competition and guided workshops on the basics of digital image processing and working with SLR Cameras.

And Pixelate is not just about serious work. It is also about having fun while learning. We have a facebook page where members can post links to interesting articles and photographs. All activities and events are also updated on the page.

So if you view the world in pixels, want to learn more about images and also showcase your talent, do join Pixelate!
