Presenting a practical, problem based approach to colour physics, this title describes the key issues encountered in modern colour engineering, including efficient representation of colour information, fourier analysis of reflectance spectra and advanced colorimetric computation. Emphasis is placed on the practical applications rather than the techniques themselves, with material structured around key topics, such as colour calibration of visual displays, computer recipe prediction and models for colour appearance prediction. Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to enhance student understanding. Firstly, theoretical ideas and background information are discussed, explanations of mathematical solutions then follow and finally practical solutions are presented using MATLAB. It : includes a compendium of equations and numerical data required by the modern colour and imaging scientist; contains numerous examples of solutions and algorithms for a wide range of computational problems in colour science; and, provides example scripts using the MATLAB programming language. This text is a must have for students taking courses in colour science, colour chemistry and colour physics as well as technicians and researchers working in the area An Invaluable Resource For Students Taking Courses In Colour Science, Colour Chemistry And Colour Physics As Well As Technicians And Researchers Working In The Area. This Book Will Also Be A Useful Reference For Professionals And Researchers Working In Related Industries.--book Jacket.

Stephen Westland, Caterina Ripamonti. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [199]-203) And Index. Focusing on key issues encountered in modern color engineering, including efficient representation of color information, color calibration of visual displays, and models for predicting color difference and color appearance, Westland (design, University of Leeds, UK) and Ripamonti (psychology, University of Pennsylvania) emphasize practical applications rather than techniques in this resource for computer programmers, color-image engineers, and students of color science. The book describes algorithms and mathematical procedures in color science and illustrates these procedures using MATLAB. Opening chapters cover linear algebra for beginners, and offer a short introduction to MATLAB. Presenting a problem based approach to colour physics, this title describes various issues encountered in colour engineering, including representation of colour information, fourier analysis of reflectance spectra and colorimetric computation. It discusses topics such as colour calibration of visual displays and computer recipe prediction. "An invaluable resource for students taking courses in colour science, colour chemistry and colour physics as well as technicians and researchers working in the area. This book will also be a useful reference for professionals and researchers working in related industries."--Résumé de l'éditeur
