Purchase options and add-ons

This book provides the reader with an understanding of what color is, where color comes from, and how color can be used correctly in many different applications. The authors first treat the physics of light and its interaction with matter at the atomic level, so that the origins of color can be appreciated. The intimate relationship between energy levels, orbital states, and electromagnetic waves helps to explain why diamonds shimmer, rubies are red, and the feathers of the Blue Jay are blue. Then, color theory is explained from its origin to the current state of the art, including image capture and display as well as the practical use of color in disciplines such as computer graphics, computer vision, photography, and film.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Color Imaging is outstanding in the way it brings together information useful to researchers, graduate students, and professionals who work in digital photography, computer graphics, computer vision, image processing, and electronic games. The writing is clear, and the many color illustrations are excellent.
―S.L. Tanimoto,
CHOICE, March 2009

... covers a range of color theory concerns for any involved in computer graphics, vision, image processing and photography. Thus this book is a pick not just for college-level computer collections, but for advanced photography libraries as well. Chapters cover the basics of color's physics and chemistry, offering plenty of theory perfect for understanding how images are captured, altered, and presented. An accompanying DVD holds most of the color photos in the book in high dynamic range format―including source code for several algorithms―and provides readers with an essential key for understanding at an advanced level.

As a practiving engineer and programmer, this book, for me, is an excellent, comprehensive review of the maths and formulae for this wide and evolving field.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2011
If you are serious about understanding color in digital imaging, you really must own this book.

It contains a very thorough presentation of color, covering everything from electromagnetism to color appearance models. The references to other works is very large, enabling a reader of the book to easily find more material if a deeper understanding of a particular subject is desired. There are two major benefits this book has compared to other books on the digital imaging subject, especially older ones. The first is that color has a central role and is not something that is discussed after image processing in grayscale has been treated. The second is that high dynamic range imaging is the default, the texts are written with the assumption that the 8-bit per component for calculation world we mostly live in needs to end, which it of course must.

This is one of those books where it is obvious that the authors really have a thorough understanding of what they are writing about.
