RIT'S MUNSELL COLOR SCIENCE LABORATORY
SUMMER SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL SHORT COURSES
JUNE 12-17, 2000
FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.cis.rit.edu/mcsl/outreach/courses.shtml
For 2000 the MCSL will be offering a week-long summer school of industrial
short courses. Participants will be able to choose from one or more (up to
three) of the following two-day intensive courses.
June 12-13,
Principles of Color Technology, Roy S. Berns and Mark D. Fairchild
This course introduces basic colorimetry through derivation of the CIE
system of tristimulus values, color spaces such as CIELAB, and color
difference equations such as CIE94 and CMC. It also describes
instrumentation for colorimetry and the evaluation of measurement accuracy
and precision. Colorimetry is used in a variety of industries including
coatings, textiles, automobiles, plastics, and image reproduction. It is
safe to assume that any colored product has undergone some form of
colorimetric evaluation during its manufacture or use.
June 14-15
Color Reproduction, Jonathan S. Arney
The basic principles behind the detection and reproduction of color will be
modeled in terms of five generic functions in an idealized "Maxwell Color
Copy System". Several color reproduction systems, including TV, color film,
electrophotographic copy machines, and various hybrid systems will be
examined in terms of the five generic functions (capture, processing,
transmission, processing, output). The chemical and/or physical mechanisms
of the components will be examined in terms of their impact on the quality
of color reproduction. Specific attention will be given to different
mechanisms of output, including CRT, continuous tone film, and halftone
printing.
Vision and Psychophysics, Ethan Montag and Mark D. Fairchild
This course provides an overview of the structure, function, and performance
of the human visual system as well as providing a detailed introduction to
visual psychophysics. Virtually every application of color or imaging
produces an object to be viewed and evaluated by human observers.
Understanding of human vision and the psychophysical techniques used to
measure human visual performance provides significant insight into a variety
of problems. Psychophysical experiments allow quantitative measurement of
visual perceptions and have applications in areas such as color tolerances,
image quality, algorithm evaluation, etc.
Instrumental-Based Color Matching , Roy S. Berns
Instrumental-based color matching exploits colorimetry, color physics, and
computer science, resulting in systems that aid colorists in matching
existing and new colors. Color mixing "laws", such as Kubelka-Munk theory
for complex subtractive mixing, are used to determine colorants and their
amounts in order to match a standard. This course will cover the basic
concepts of color mixing for transparent and opaque materials, colorant
identification, spectral matching, and colorimetric matching. Through
hands-on laboratories, participants will learn the importance of the
colorant database and attaining the least metameric match.
June 16-17
Color Appearance Models, Mark D. Fairchild
This course provides a detailed review of the CIECAM97s color appearance
model as well as covering the fundamental phenomena and techniques of color
appearance modeling. Color-appearance models extend basic colorimetry, as
typified by CIE tristimulus values, to the prediction of color matches and
color appearance across widely varying viewing conditions. Advances in open
systems for electronic image reproduction have accented the need for
accurate and efficient color appearance models to allow transformation of
image data across media and viewing conditions.
Device Profiles for Color Management, Roy S. Berns and Mitch Rosen
Device profiles incorporate device characterization, color gamut mapping,
and color appearance models. This course will focus on device
characterization techniques and their implementation into an ICC-compatible
device profile. Device characterization describes the relationship between a
devicešs user controls, such as digital counts, and its spectral and
colorimetric output, that is, its color. Three techniques can be used to
characterize a device: direct measurement and multi-dimensional
interpolation, multiple-linear regression, and analytical modeling. The last
two techniques will be used to characterize desktop scanners, digital
cameras, computer-controlled CRT displays, and desktop printers (inkjet and
electrophotographic).
Registration Fees:
Any combination of courses for the full week (6 days or 3 courses) costs
$2000. Individual 2-day courses cost $850 each. This fee includes
educational materials, textbook stated per course, lunches. Not included
travel, hotel, and dinners.
