2011 | 479 Pages | ISBN: 1119975379 | PDF | 11 MB
The classic authority on colour measurement now fully revised and updated with the latest CIE recommendations The measurement of colour is of major importance in many commercial applications, such as the textile, paint, and foodstuff industries; as well as having a significant role in the lighting, paper, printing, cosmetic, plastics, glass, chemical, photographic, television, transport, and communication industries. Building upon the success of earlier editions, the 4th edition of Measuring Colour has been updated throughout with new chapters on colour rendering by light sources; colorimetry with digital cameras; factors affecting the appearance of coloured objects, and details of new CIE colour appearance models. Key features: Presents colour measurement, not simply as a matter of instrumentation and engineering, but also involving the physiology and psychology of the human observer. Covers the principles of colour measurement rather than a guide to instruments. Provides the reader with the basic facts needed to measure colour. Describes and explains the interactions between how colour is affected by the type of lighting, by the nature of the objects illuminated, and by the properties of the colour vision of observers. Includes many worked examples, and a series of Appendices provides the numerical data needed in many colorimetric calculations. The addition of 4th edition co-author, Dr. Pointer, has facilitated the inclusion of extensive practical advice on measurement procedures and the latest CIE recommendations.Content: Chapter 1 Colour Vision (pages 1-17): Chapter 2 Spectral Weighting Functions (pages 19-40): Chapter 3 Relations Between Colour Stimuli (pages 41-72): Chapter 4 Light Sources (pages 73-97): Chapter 5 Obtaining Spectral Data and Tristimulus Values (pages 99-115): Chapter 6 Metamerism and Colour Constancy (pages 117-142): Chapter 7 Colour Rendering by Light Sources (pages 143-154): Chapter 8 Colour Order Systems (pages 155-195): Chapter 9 Precision and Accuracy in Colorimetry (pages 197-217): Chapter 10 Fluorescent Colours (pages 219-230): Chapter 11 RGB Colorimetry (pages 231-240): Chapter 12 Colorimetry with Digital Cameras (pages 241-256): Chapter 13 Colorant Mixtures (pages 257-265): Chapter 14 Factors Affecting the Appearance of Coloured Objects (pages 267-292): Chapter 15 The CIE Colour Appearance Model CIECAM02 (pages 293-324): Chapter 16 Models of Colour Appearance for Stimuli of Different Sizes (pages 325-328): Chapter 17 Model of Colour Appearance for Unrelated Colours in Photopic and Mesopic Illuminances (pages 329-334):
