Presents the science of colour from new perspectives and outlines
results obtained from the authors' work in the mathematical theory
of colour This innovative volume summarizes existing knowledge in
the field, attempting to present as much data as possible about
colour, accumulated in various branches of science (physics,
phychophysics, colorimetry, physiology) from a unified theoretical
position. Written by a colour specialist and a professional
mathematician, the book offers a new theoretical framework based on
functional analysis and convex analysis. Employing these branches
of mathematics, instead of more conventional linear algebra, allows
them to provide the knowledge required for developing techniques to
measure colour appearance to the standards adopted in colorimetric
measurements. The authors describe the mathematics in a language
that is understandable for colour specialists and include a
detailed overview of all chapters to help readers not familiar with
colour science. Divided into two parts, the book first covers
various key aspects of light colour, such as colour stimulus space,
colour mechanisms, colour detection and discrimination,
light-colour perception typology, and light metamerism. The second
part focuses on object colour, featuring detailed coverage of
object-colour perception in single- and multiple-illuminant scenes,
object-colour solid, colour constancy, metamer mismatching,
object-colour indeterminacy and more. Throughout the book, the
authors combine differential geometry and topology with the
scientific principles on which colour measurement and specification
are currently based and applied in industrial applications.
Presents a unique compilation of the author's substantial
contributions to colour science Offers a new approach to colour
perception and measurement, developing the theoretical framework
used in colorimetry Bridges the gap between colour engineering and
a coherent mathematical theory of colour Outlines mathematical
foundations applicable to the colour vision of humans and animals
as well as technologies equipped with artificial photosensors
Contains algorithms for solving various problems in colour science,
such as the mathematical problem of describing metameric lights
Formulates all results to be accessible to non-mathematicians and
colour specialists Foundations of Colour Science: From Colorimetry
to Perception is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers,
industry professionals and undergraduate and graduate students with
interest in a mathematical approach to the science of colour.
