Color Science for Imaging Systems

SEP 01, 1989
Knowledge of the production, measurement and perception of color stimuli is essential for analyzing and optimizing complex photographic and electronic color‐imaging systems.
LeRoy E. DeMarsh
Edward J. Giorgianni

Artists and artisans in all eras and civilizations have produced color images for aesthetic and informational purposes. The desire to produce images that record visual experiences and to share those images with others seems intrinsic to human nature. Color is an important aspect of the visual experience. It is only natural that we attempt to understand it so that we may have control over the way we use it in drawings, paintings, photographs and electronic images.
