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.

The essential resource for readers needing to understand visual perception and for those trying to produce, reproduce and measure color appearance in various applications such as imaging, entertainment, materials, design, architecture and lighting. This book builds upon the success of previous editions, and will continue to serve the needs of those professionals working in the field to solve practical problems or looking for background for on-going research projects. It would also act as a good course text for senior undergraduates and postgraduates studying color science. The 3rd Edition of Color Appearance Models contains numerous new and expanded sections providing an updated review of color appearance and includes many of the most widely used models to date, ensuring its continued success as the comprehensive resource on color appearance models. Key features: Presents the fundamental concepts and phenomena of color appearance (what objects look like in typical viewing situations) and practical techniques to measure, model and predict those appearances. Includes the clear explanation of fundamental concepts that makes the implementation of mathematical models very easy to understand. Explains many different types of models, and offers a clear context for the models, their use, and future directions in the field.

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

Colorimetry: Understanding the CIE System summarizes and explains the standards of CIE colorimetry in one comprehensive source. Presents the material in a tutorial form, for easy understanding by students and engineers dealing with colorimetry. Provides an overview of the area of CIE colorimetry, including colorimetric principles, the historical background of colorimetric measurements, uncertainty analysis, open problems of colorimetry and their possible solutions, etc. Includes several appendices, which provide a listing of CIE colorimetric tables as well as an annotated list of CIE publications. Commemorates the 75th anniversary of the CIE's System of Colorimetry.

What is Color Appearance Model A color appearance model, often known as a CAM, is a mathematical model that aims to capture the perceptual elements of human color vision. This model is used to describe viewing settings in which the appearance of a color does not coincide with the corresponding actual measurement of the stimulus source.
