Demystifying CIECAM97s: a reply to hunt

Demystifying Spasticity: Reply to Dietz.

REPLY: I was glad to read Dr. Volker Dietz’s recent letter to the editor (Dietz 2007) comparing his work on spasticity in humans to my studies of spasticity in the sacral spinal rat (Bennett et al. 2004). His comments highlight many of the confusions that have shrouded the study of spasticity and give me a chance to clear the air on this topic. The first confusion relates to the complexity of s...

of VATS lobectomy compared to thoracotomy lobectomy and the influence of the length of stay very much mirror our own larger experience in Canada. When we compared costs of over 250 VATS lobectomy cases to an open lobectomy, intraoperative costs were approximately double ($2810CD vs $1425CD). However, length of stay (LOS) was 1.3 days shorter for VATS cases (4.9 days vs 6.2 days). Based on an an...

Usage Guidelines for CIECAM97s

Color appearance models provide a powerful tool for achieving a viewing condition independent color representation. However, current color appearance models such as CIECAM97s and CAM97s2 are more complex than previous CIE device independent color spaces, such as CIELAB and CIELUV. Therefore it is important to understand how to correctly measure and set the input parameters. This paper provides ...

A Revision of CIECAM97s for Practical Applications

The CIE 1997 Interim Color Appearance Model (Simple Version), abbreviated CIECAM97s, was proposed by CIE TC1-34 in 1997 in response to the needs of the imaging industry for a single, practically-applicable, color appearance model for deviceindependent color imaging applications. CIECAM97s has been successful in focusing a large number of researchers in a single direction to implement, evaluate,...
