Digital Color (PDF)

In this book the authors identify the basic concepts and recent
advances in the acquisition, perception, coding and rendering of
color. The fundamental aspects related to the science of
colorimetry in relation to physiology (the human visual system) are
addressed, as are constancy and color appearance. It also addresses
the more technical aspects related to sensors and the color
management screen. Particular attention is paid to the notion of
color rendering in computer graphics. Beyond color, the authors
also look at coding, compression, protection and quality of color
images and videos.

Individual chapters focus on the LMS specification, color
constancy, color appearance models, rendering in synthetic image
generation, image sensor technologies, image compression, and
quality and secure color imaging. Ideal for researchers, engineers,
Master's and PhD students, Digital Color: Acquisition,
Perception, Encoding and Rendering offers a state of the art on all
the scientific and technical issues raised by the different stages
of the digital color process - acquisition, analysis and
processing.
