4th Edition
by R. W. G. Hunt (Author), M. R. Pointer (Author)
The classic authority on colour measurement now fully revised and updated with the latest CIE recommendations
The
measurement of colour is of major importance in many commercial
applications, such as the textile, paint, and foodstuff industries; as
well as having a significant role in the lighting, paper, printing,
cosmetic, plastics, glass, chemical, photographic, television,
transport, and communication industries.
Building upon the success of earlier editions, the 4th edition of Measuring Colour
has been updated throughout with new chapters on colour rendering by
light sources; colorimetry with digital cameras; factors affecting the
appearance of coloured objects, and details of new CIE colour appearance
models.
Key features:
- Presents colour measurement,
not simply as a matter of instrumentation and engineering, but also
involving the physiology and psychology of the human observer.
- Covers the principles of colour measurement rather than a guide to instruments.
- Provides the reader with the basic facts needed to measure colour.
- Describes
and explains the interactions between how colour is affected by the
type of lighting, by the nature of the objects illuminated, and by the
properties of the colour vision of observers.
- Includes many worked examples, and a series of Appendices provides the numerical data needed in many colorimetric calculations.
The
addition of 4th edition co-author, Dr. Pointer, has facilitated the
inclusion of extensive practical advice on measurement procedures and
the latest CIE recommendations.
