AESTHETICS APPRECIATION OF WOOD COLOUR AND PATTERNS BY COLORIMETRY: PART 1. COLORIMETRY THEORY FOR THE CIELAB SYSTEM

CIE Colorimetry and Colour Displays

CIE colorimetry was standardised 65 years ago to describe colorimetric properties of signal lights. The first real application of CIE colorimetry occurred, however, in the textile and coating industries to describe colour matches between sample and reference. Thus also the experiments conducted to achieve a uniform colour scale diagram were performed by using material samples usually illuminate...

A New Test Method Based on CIELAB Colorimetry for Evaluating the Permanence of Pictorial Images

TELEVISION COLORIMETRY: A tutorial for system designers

This Report was written primarily for use as a colorimetry tutorial for any MPEG users who may feel confused by the plethora of descriptive data contained in the MPEG data-stream. It is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on basic colorimetry or even on television colorimetry; that would require a very much larger document. There are many books on the subject, but two are of particular re...

Colorimetry for CRT displays.

We analyze the sources of error in specifying color in CRT displays. These include errors inherent in the use of the color matching functions of the CIE 1931 standard observer when only colorimetric, not radiometric, calibrations are available. We provide transformation coefficients that prove to correct the deficiencies of this observer very well. We consider four different candidate sets of c...

The Construction of Colorimetry by Committee

The Argument This paper explores the confrontation of physical and contextual factors involved in the emergence of the subject of color measurement, which stabilized in essentially its present form during the interwar period. The contentions surrounding the specialty had both a national and a disciplinary dimension. German dominance was curtailed by American and British contributions after Worl...
