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.

The rapid growth in color imaging technology has meant that there is now an ever-increasing demand for achieving color fidelity across digital media, and for a standard way to transport colors among devices on the Internet.

Fairchild's popular text, Color Appearance Models, has been fully revised and updated for a second edition, providing a comprehensive coverage of the fast-growing field of color management and appearance. An easy-to-follow resource for both students and practising engineers using color images, the book now includes the most recent developments in the CIE model (now CIECAM02) and in chromatic adaptation transforms. There is also a new introduction to image appearance modeling, a developing area of research for color appearance application.

Features:

• A combination of the fundamental issues and current solutions in the field of color appearance modeling.

• Detailed discussions of the most widely used models to date, for example Nayatani, Hunt, RLAB, and the ATD and LLAB models that are of increasing interest for some applications.

• A website accompanying the text listing related developments, publications and calculations.

Color Appearance Models is a valuable reference for a range of advanced students in technology programs and color engineers, color scientists and imaging professionals working on engineering color systems.

Reviews of the first edition:

"A clear and authoritative review of an important field in color science." Dr R.W.G. Hunt

"Nowhere else is catalogued so completely or lucidly the color-appearance models of the past 40 years…I recommend that anyone interested in color appearance buy and read Fairchild's book." Color Research and Application
