Course content

Metrology for capture of scene radiance, colorimetry and appearance

Cross-media colour reproduction The state of the art and current research in CIE colorimetry

Colour order systems, colour spaces and advanced colour difference formulas.

Colour appearance and the human visual system

Learning outcome

The aim of this course is to equip the student with an advanced knowledge of current research in colour science, and the ability to critically evaluate previous work and to conduct original research in colour science topics.

Skills: Construct and implement cross-media colour reproduction workflows, and critically evaluate the methods used.

Knowledge: Compare methods of calculation of whiteness, colour rendering and metamerism indices, and evaluate their validity and range of application. Make judgements about the ability of current models to make estimates of scene colour appearance and of colour difference under different conditions of illumination

General competencies: Evaluate the performance of colour measurement and colour specification systems Appraise measurement data with respect to precision, accuracy, validity and reproducibility
