Publisher's Synopsis
The rapid growth in color imaging technology has meant that there is now an ever–increasing demand for achieving color fidelity across digital media, and for a standard way to transport colors among devices on the Internet.
Fairchild′s popular text, Color Appearance Models, has been fully revised and updated for a second edition, providing a comprehensive coverage of the fast–growing field of color management and appearance. An easy–to–follow resource for both students and practising engineers using color images, the book now includes the most recent developments in the CIE model (now CIECAM02) and in chromatic adaptation transforms. There is also a new introduction to image appearance modeling, a developing area of research for color appearance application.
Features:
- A combination of the fundamental issues and current solutions in the field of color appearance modeling.
- Detailed discussions of the most widely used models to date, for example Nayatani, Hunt, RLAB, and the ATD and LLAB models that are of increasing interest for some applications.
- A website accompanying the text listing related developments, publications and calculations.
Color Appearance Models is a valuable reference for a range of advanced students in technology programs and color engineers, color scientists and imaging professionals working on engineering color systems.
Reviews of the first edition:
"A clear and authoritative review of an important field in color science." Dr R.W.G. Hunt
"Nowhere else is catalogued so completely or lucidly the color–appearance models of the past 40 years…I recommend that anyone interested in color appearance buy and read Fairchild′s book." Color Research and Application
