bio
Nestor M. Rodriguez is a senior technical project leader at Kodak, having over 30 years of experience in both film and hardware imaging technology in the company's research, development, manufacturing, and marketing organizations. He received a B.S. in physics and an M.S. in engineering from St. John Fisher College and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), respectively, in addition to completing graduate work in the field of image science at RIT. His current role is with Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division R&D group, leading technical teams in the development of digital technology/products for motion picture and TV image origination, including image science methodology for digital post-production. He has over a dozen patents (or pending) in these subject are as pertaining to telecine, optical projection soundtrack, electronic and film image capture, and image processing. His most recent projects included the development of an electronic digital camera/processor prototype system in which the images emulated the image capture capability/look of camera film, and the Kodak Vision2 HD system for digital film. Rodriguez is currently working on image-processing solutions for the digital intermediate workflow. He is the editor and co-author of the Radiometry and Photometry chapter in the Handbook of Photographic Science and Engineering.
