MEASURING COLOUR IN IMAGING
A TWO DAY COURSE AT CITY UNIVERSITY, LONDON
April 18 and 19, 1996
==========================================================
INTRODUCTION
Colour images are being used in ever increasing numbers in photography,
television and printing. With the advent of Photo CD, desktop publishing and
other means of transferring images from one medium to another, it has become
more and more important to be able to make measurements of colour at the
various stages of reproduction systems. The Colour Management Systems so
essential for controlling quality in imaging also depend on colour
measurements.
The course is designed to give a systematic overview of colorimetry in
imaging, starting with relatively simple techniques such as densitometry,
and finishing with the application of advanced procedures such as those
involving models of colour vision.
The course consists of 12 lectures spread over two days. The lectures are
copiously illustrated with slides and demonstrations.
