This book is a comprehensive state-of-the-art reference focusing on color appearance models, innovative tools that describe and predict color under a variety of viewing conditions. Written by a leading authority, this book provides any professional or student versed in color science basics with a complete overview of the following five color appearance models: Nayatani et al.; Hunt; RLAB; ATD; and LLAB. For each model, the book examines such aspects as input data, adaptation, opponent-color dimensions, color defining features, predictable phenomena, and the pros and cons of that model. It offers essential background information on human color perception, psychophysics, and the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) system of colorimetry that has formed the foundation for color technology since the 1930s. Also addressed are color appearance terminology, color order systems, color appearance phenomena, and an analysis of viewing conditions. The book discusses chromatic adaptation in depth, one of the most important elements of color appearance. The book also includes an overview of device-independent color imaging, the application that represents the greatest technological push for the development of color appearance models. In all, Color Appearance Models gives you an excellent understanding of the foundation and forefront of color technology, innovative tools now available, and how these recent developments are likely to revolutionize the field.
