Presenting a practical, problem-based approach to colourphysics, this title describes the key issues encountered inmodern colour engineering, including efficient representation ofcolour information, fourier analysis of reflectance spectra andadvanced colorimetric computation. Emphasis is placed on thepractical applications rather than the techniques themselves, withmaterial structured around key topics, such as colour calibrationof visual displays, computer recipe prediction and models forcolour-appearance prediction.
Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to enhancestudent understanding. Firstly, theoretical ideas and backgroundinformation are discussed, explanations of mathematical solutionsthen follow and finally practical solutions are presented usingMATLAB.
* Includes a compendium of equations and numerical data requiredby the modern colour and imaging scientist.
* Numerous examples of solutions and algorithms for a wide-rangeof computational problems in colour science.
* Provides example scripts using the MATLAB programminglanguage.
This text is a must-have for students taking courses incolour science, colour chemistry and colour physics as well astechnicians and researchers working in the area.
