Opis

Colorimetry, the science of quantitvely describing color, is essential for color reproduction technology. This is because it creates standards by which to measure color, using mathematical techniques and software to ensure fidelity across media, allow accurate color mixing, and to develop color optimization.

This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to colorimetry, taking the reader from basic concepts through to a variety of industrial applications. Set out in clear, easy-to-follow terminology, Ohta and Robertson explain fundamental principles such as color specification, the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) system, and color vision and appearance models. They also cover the following topics: the optimization of color reproduction;uniform color spaces and color difference formulae, including the CIEDE 2000 formula;applications of metamerism, chromatic adaptation, color appearance and color rendering;mathematical formulae for calculating color mixing, maximising luminous efficacy, and designing illuminants with specific properties.

"Colorimetry: Fundamentals and Applications" is an ideal reference for practising color engineers, color scientists and imaging professionals working on color systems. It is also a practical guide for senior undergraduate and graduate students who want to acquire knowledge in the field.

Recenzje

"This volume will be a useful addition to academic libraries and will be indispensible for basic and clinical researchers in this growing field." ( E–Streams, June 2008)

" a systematic and unambiguous exposition of how color is defined, measured, and seen by humans under different viewing conditions highly recommended." (CHOICE, June 2006)
