Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB / Wiley-IS&T Series in Imaging Science and Technology (ePub)

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd
Edition offers a practical, problem-based approach to colour
physics. The book focuses on 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. These topics include colour
calibration of visual displays, computer recipe prediction and
models for colour-appearance prediction.

Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to aid
student understanding. First, theoretical ideas and background
information are discussed, then explanations of mathematical
solutions follow and finally practical solutions are presented
using MATLAB. The content includes:

* A compendium of equations and numerical data required by the
modern colour and imaging scientist.

* Numerous examples of solutions and algorithms for a wide-range
of computational problems in colour science.

* Example scripts using the MATLAB programming language.

This 2nd edition contains substantial new and revised
material, including three innovative chapters on colour imaging,
psychophysical methods, and physiological colour spaces; the MATLAB
toolbox has been extended with a professional, optimized, toolbox
to go alongside the current teaching toolbox; and a java toolbox
has been added which will interest users who are writing web
applications and/or applets or mobile phone applications.

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd
Edition is 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. In addition, it
acts a useful reference for professionals and researchers working
in colour dependent industries such as textiles, paints, print
& electronic imaging.

Review from First Edition:

"...highly recommended as a concise introduction to the
practicalities of colour science..." (Color Technology,
