The essential guide to the entire process behind performing a complete characterization and benchmarking of cameras through image quality analysisCamera Image Quality Benchmarking contains the basic information and approaches for the use of subjectively correlated image quality metrics and outlines a framework for camera benchmarking. The authors show how to quantitatively compare image quality of cameras used for consumer photography. This book helps to fill a void in the literature by detailing the types of objective and subjective metrics that are fundamental to benchmarking still and video imaging devices. Specifically, the book provides an explanation of individual image quality attributes and how they manifest themselves to camera components and explores the key photographic still and video image quality metrics. The text also includes illustrative examples of benchmarking methods so that the practitioner can design a methodology appropriate to the photographic usage in consideration.The authors outline the various techniques used to correlate the measurement results from the objective methods with subjective results. The text also contains a detailed description on how to set up an image quality characterization lab, with examples where the methodological benchmarking approach described has been implemented successfully. This vital resource:* Explains in detail the entire process behind performing a complete characterization and benchmarking of cameras through image quality analysis* Provides best practice measurement protocols and methodologies, so readers can develop and define their own camera benchmarking system to industry standards* Includes many photographic images and diagrammatical illustrations to clearly convey image quality concepts* Champions benchmarking approaches that value the importance of perceptually correlated image quality metricsWritten for image scientists, engineers, or managers involved in image quality and evaluating camera performance, Camera Image Quality Benchmarking combines knowledge from many different engineering fields, correlating objective (perception-independent) image quality with subjective (perception-dependent) image quality metrics.

A guide that examines the history and current state of 2.5D printing and explores the relationship between two and three dimensions2.5D Printing: Bridging the Gap Between 2D and 3D Applications examines the relationship between two- and three-dimensional printing and explores the current ideas, methods, and applications. It provides insights about the diversity of our material culture and heritage and how this knowledge can be used to design and develop new methods for texture printing. The authors review the evolving research and interest in working towards developing methods to: capture, measure and model the surface qualities of 3D and 2D objects, represent the appearance of surface, material and textural qualities, and print or reproduce the material and textural qualities.The text reflects information on the topic from a broad range of fields including science, technology, art, design, conservation, perception, and computer modelling. 2.5D Printing: Bridging the Gap Between 2D and 3D Applications provides a survey of traditional methods of capturing 2.5D through painting and sculpture, and how the human perception is able to judge and compare differences. This important text:* Bridges the gap between the technical and perceptual domains of 2D and 3D printing* Discusses perceptual texture, color, illusion, and visual impact to offer a unique perspective* Explores how to print a convincing rendering of texture that integrates the synthesis of texture in fine art paintings, with digital deposition printing* Describes contemporary methods for capturing surface qualities and methods for modelling and measuring, and ways that it is currently being used* Considers the impact of 2.5D for future technologies2.5D Printing is a hands-on guide that provides visual inspiration, comparisons between traditional and digital technologies, case studies, and a wealth of references to the world of texture printing.Please visit the companion website at: www.wiley.com/go/bridging2d3d . www.wiley.com/go/bridging2d3d

Computational Colour Science Using MATLAB 2nd Edition offers a practical, problem-based approach to colour physics. 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.

* Covers the most up-to-date research and latest developments on computer vision * Wide range of topics discussed, including colorimetry, color vision, photometric invariance, all with clear applications to computer vision * FTP site with source code of algorithms, links to data sets from the text .

This book brings together the relevant thinking on HDR learning from artists (painters and photographers), scientists (optics and vision science), imaging engineers (silver-halide film, silicon sensors and camera-, printer- and display-designers), and image processing experts (algorithms and computer hardware).

Fourier Methods in Imaging first introduces the basic mathematical concepts of linear algebra for vectors and functions, a knowledge of which is necessary for understanding the subsequent discussions.

The long-awaited second edition of Digital Color Management: Encoding Solutions has been fully revised and updated to include new topics on non-CRT displays, digital cinema, encoding metrics and International Color Consortium (ICC) color management.

Brimming with contributions from international specialists in industry and academia who have worked on the development of the JPEG2000 standard, The JPEG 2000 Suite provides a comprehensive reference on JPEG2000 and its extensions, examining current applications and future perspectives.

Building upon the success of previous editions, this volume continues to serve the needs of professionals who need to understand visual perception as well as produce, reproduce, and measure color appearance in such applications as imaging, entertainment, materials, design, architecture, and lighting.

Gamut mapping algorithms, implemented by color management systems, are an integral part of the color reproduction process. By adjusting the colors with appropriate algorithms, gamut mapping enables original colors to 'fit' inside differently shaped color gamuts and authentically transfers images across a range of media.

This book is a detailed investigation into how understanding the human visual system can lead to the development of colour constancy in a range of applications, from digital photography to object colour recognition in robotics. The book begins with an in-depth discussion of the human visual system and how we perceive colour.

Bringing together abridged ICC (International Color Consortium) white papers and previously unpublished material, Colour Management provides comprehensive guidelines to implementing effective color management using the ICC profile format.

Colorimetry: Fundamentals and Applications covers a wide range of colorimetric topics and their application to color engineering. Focusing on practical knowledge, this book is the ideal reference for practicing engineers involved in colorimetry, and undergraduate or graduate students who want to acquire knowledge in the field.

Completely revised and updated, this book has become a standard work in this area and is widely used as a basis for lectures in universities and specialist institutions. It includes information on the latest digital and printing technologies and is illustrated with many new photographs and diagrams.

This resource provides the basic facts needed to measure color. The coverage focuses on guiding principles, rather than particular instruments likely to become quickly outdated. Because color primarily occurs through individual perception, the authors present the material in the context of the properties of color vision of the human observer.
