[visionlist] Book announcement: Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition

[Caterina Ripamonti]

We are pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of our
book:


Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB (2012)

Stephen Westland, Caterina Ripamonti, and Vien Cheung

WILEY

ISBN: 978-0-470-66569-5



*Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition* offers a practical,
problem-based approach to colour science. The book focuses on the key
issues encountered in modern colour engineering, including efficient
representation of colour information, Fourier analysis of reflectance
spectra and advanced colorimetric computation. Emphasis is placed on the
practical applications rather than the techniques themselves, with material
structured around key topics. These topics include colour calibration of
visual displays, computer recipe prediction and models for
colour-appearance prediction.

Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to aid student
understanding. First, theoretical ideas and background information are
discussed, then explanations of mathematical solutions follow and finally
practical solutions are presented using MATLAB. The content includes:

    A compendium of equations and numerical data required by the modern
colour and imaging scientist.

    Numerous examples of solutions and algorithms for a wide-range of
computational problems in colour science.

    Example scripts using the MATLAB programming language.

This 2nd edition contains substantial new and revised material, including
three innovative chapters on colour imaging, psychophysical methods, and
physiological colour spaces; the MATLAB toolbox has been extended with a
professional, optimized, toolbox to go alongside the current teaching
toolbox; and a java toolbox has been added which will interest users who
are writing web applications and/or applets or mobile phone applications.

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition is an invaluable
resource for students taking courses in colour science, colour chemistry
and colour physics as well as technicians and researchers working in the
area. In addition, it acts as a useful reference for professionals and
researchers working in colour dependent industries such as textiles,
paints, print & electronic imaging.

Best wishes,

Katia Ripamonti
