Bachelor-/ Master Thesis/ Internship: Image Quality in a Motion Picture Workflow

28.05.2025, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

External thesis or internship at Arnold & Richter Cine Technik GmbH & Co. Betriebs KG

Compression is a well-studied topic in Image Quality research, video tests evaluating the quality vs. datarate are well known and standardized. However, in digital cinema recordings used for high end movie production, the setup is crucially different compared to consumer camera footage: After recording, the footage usually is subject to heavy color grading, which amplifies any quality issues, or used for VFX (e.g. greenscreen keying).

This internship/job/thesis should focus on the topic, how to include color grading – and if time allows other steps from movie post production – into the image quality tests aiming for a method that is used to compare different codecs that can be used in a digital cinema camera workflow. If time allows, also lossy image processing steps can be investigated in addition to codecs.

Based on background and interests the topic can be a thesis or an internship or a combination.
