Colorimetry, the science of quantitvely describing color, isessential for color reproduction technology. This is because itcreates standards by which to measure color, using mathematicaltechniques and software to ensure fidelity across media, allowaccurate color mixing, and to develop color optimization.
This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction tocolorimetry, taking the reader from basic concepts through to avariety of industrial applications. Set out in clear,easy-to-follow terminology, Ohta and Robertson explain fundamentalprinciples such as color specification, the CIE (InternationalCommission on Illumination) system, and color vision and appearancemodels. They also cover the following topics:
* the optimization of color reproduction;
* uniform color spaces and color difference formulae, includingthe CIEDE 2000 formula;
* applications of metamerism, chromatic adaptation, colorappearance and color rendering;
* mathematical formulae for calculating color mixing, maximisingluminous efficacy, and designing illuminants with specificproperties.
Colorimetry: Fundamentals and Applications is an idealreference for practising color engineers, color scientists andimaging professionals working on color systems. It is also apractical guide for senior undergraduate and graduate students whowant to acquire knowledge in the field.

Noboru Ohta earned his B.Sci., and Dr.Eng.from theUniversity of Tokyo. In 1968, he joined Fuji Photo Film and From1973, he spend three y ears under Gunter Wyszecki at the NationalResearch Council of Canada.
He has taught colorimetry and color reproduction at a variety ofuniversities. he joined Rochester Institute of Technology in 1998,and is associated there with the Munsell Color Science Laboratoryin the Center for Imaging Science.
He has published more than 100 technical paper sin Japanese andEnglish, and several books on colorimetry and color reproduction inJapanese, Chinese, and Korean. He has been active in a variety ofacademic societies, and also in standards organizations such as theJapanese Industrial Standards (JIS), the American NationalStandards Institute (ANSI), and the International Commission onIllumination (CIE).
Alan Robertson earned his B.Sc and Ph.D. from theUniversity of London, where he studied under David Wright. He thenjoined Gunter Wyszecki at the National Research Council of Canadaand Spent 35 years there before retiring in 2000. He has publishedover 50 papers in journals and conference proceedings and has givenmore than 60 invited talks in 10 countries. He is former Presidentof the international Color Association (AIC) and Vice President ofthe International Commission on Illumination (CIE). In 2005, hereceived the Godlove Award of the Inter-Society Color Council(ISCC) for long-term contributions in the field of color.
