This review is from: Illumination and Color in Computer Generated Imagery (Monographs in Visual Communication) (Hardcover)

This book (sadly out of print) is a great work on illumination models. I ran across a reference to it in Advanced Renderman and they were right to recommend it. It's a bit dated, but it's chock full of computer code. I'm mostly interested in the illumination models, but it's also got chapters on perceptual response, image mechanics (NTSC, RGB, etc.), image storage, the meaning of those parameters in illumination eqns. etc. Plus a bunch of C code (which you can find on the web).
