Color Appearance Models

Color Appearance Models is a book developed for professionals working on the development and implementation of modern digital color imaging systems. Color appearance models extend basic colorimetry, to the prediction of color appearance across widely varying viewing conditions. Topics include important aspects of human vision, color appearance terminology, color appearance phenomena, derivation of color appearance models (including Nayatani, Hunt, RLAB, LLAB, CIELAB, and ATD), testing of color appearance models, applications, and implementation. The book contains over 100 full-color illustrations.It is the only book with comprehensive coverage of this developing area. Professional interest in current research is high, yet information has not been readily available. This book brings it all together in one place.-- Fairchild is involved with setting the international standards for this field, he has implemented and tested all of the models. He is the author of one of models-- This book describes the scientific basis for why digital color reproduction is so difficult-- Fairchild explains the extension of well-established color measurement techniques to solve important problems in applications like digital color reproduction
