Color Imaging
Color Imaging: Fundamentals and Applications covers all aspects of color theory, serving the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, image processing and photography. The text presents in detail the fundamentals of color, including physics and chemistry, human vision, and perception. Color theory is explained with chapters dealing with radiometry, photometry, colorimetry, color spaces, color appearance modeling, and illuminants. The third part of this reference text is devoted to the capture and display of images, with a strong focus on High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI). The latest research in HDR image capture and display is discussed in detail, including a new chapter on tone reproduction. Throughout the book, the theory is underpinned with all the mathematics necessary to implement the algorithms discussed. In addition, where appropriate, chapters conclude with practical examples showing how the theory can be applied to graphics, vision, image processing and photography.This book is accompanied by a DVD-ROM containing most of the color photographs included in the main text, as well as many additional photographs which are not available elsewhere. These images are included in both conventional as well as high dynamic range formats. It also contains a copy of the METACOW metametic spectral image.
