Book Description
This book is a comprehensive state-of-the-art reference focusing on color appearance models, innovative tools that describe and predict color under a variety of viewing conditions. Written by a leading authority, this book provides any professional or student versed in color science basics with a complete overview of the following five color appearance models: Nayatani et al.; Hunt; RLAB; ATD; and LLAB. For each model, the book examines such aspects as input data, adaptation, opponent-color dimensions, color defining features, predictable phenomena, and the pros and cons of that model. It offers essential background information on human color perception, psychophysics, and the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) system of colorimetry that has formed the foundation for color technology since the 1930s. Also addressed are color appearance terminology, color order systems, color appearance phenomena, and an analysis of viewing conditions. The book discusses chromatic adaptation in depth, one of the most important elements of color appearance. The book also includes an overview of device-independent color imaging, the application that represents the greatest technological push for the development of color appearance models. In all, Color Appearance Models gives you an excellent understanding of the foundation and forefront of color technology, innovative tools now available, and how these recent developments are likely to revolutionize the field.

Download Description
There is an ever-increasing demand for a standard way to transport colours among devices on the Internet, and for achieving colour fidelity across digital media. The rapid growth in colour imaging technology has led to the emergence of colour management systems. These systems require colour appearance models so that images produced in one medium and viewed in a particular environment, may be reproduced in a second medium and viewed under different conditions. The eagerly anticipated second edition of Colour Appearance Models brings the fundamental issues and current solutions in the area of colour appearance modelling together in a single place for those needing to solve practical problems or looking for background for ongoing research projects. This book provides the relevant information for an updated review of colour appearance and provide details of many of the most widely used models to date, for example, Nayatani et al., Hunt, and RLAB and the ATD and LLAB appearance models that are of increasing interest for some applications. It also includes the recently formulated CIECAM02 model that represents a significant improvement of CIECAM97S and is the best possible model based on current knowledge. Fairchild presents an updated overview of device-independent colour imaging and finally introduces the concept of image appearance modelling as a potential future direction for colour appearance modelling research. A website accompanies this text that lists developments, publications and calculations related to the material in this book.
