Expert overview of the world of colour engineering in the 21st century, with new, updated technologies and a MATLAB toolbox
Fundamentals and Applications of Colour Engineering provides important coverage on topics that hold the power to extend our knowledge of color reproduction, such as color measurement and appearance and the methods used, with additional discussion of the technologies responsible for reproducing color across a wide range of devices, together with the color management systems that are used to connect devices together and exchange information.
Composed of 20 chapters, the editor and his team of expert contributors consider the new ICC.2 architecture, an approach that introduces an evolutionary step in colour engineering, ensuring wider possibilities for technology. The text also considers the emerging applications for advanced color management, such as processing spectral data, handling HDR images, and the capture and reproduction of material appearance.
The text is supported by a MATLAB toolbox of relevant functions and data. Fundamentals and Applications of Colour Engineering is a useful reference for anyone involved in the reproduction of colour and a strong supplementary course potential for Masters degrees with a colour science component.
Fundamentals and Applications of Colour Engineering includes information on:
- Instruments and methods of color measurement, colorimetry, and color difference, and colour appearance
- Colour spaces and color encodings, and characterizing input devices, displays and printers
- Colour gamut communication and imaging standards, high dynamic range imaging, and HDR
- Sensor adjustment in color management, open source tools for color engineering, and colour transform evaluation
Supporting active learning with the inclusion of a toolbox of relevant functions and data, Fundamentals and Applications of Colour Engineering is an essential resource for students in relevant programs of study, and for professionals within colour engineering and reproduction looking to maximize their skill set and keep their skills updated.
