Color is an illusion, and colorimetry is the art to predict an illusion from a physical measurement. This statement suggests that the most important tool for color reproduction is intuition. This short course will explain color science so that you can develop an intuitive understanding of color. Topics include: the development of color theories, color vision physiology, the foundations of colorimetry, and color appearance modeling.
BENEFITS/LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This course will enable you to:
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Managers interested in developing an intuition for electronic color reproduction. Engineers and technicians who design or use color measurement procedures for electronic color reproduction. There are no prerequisites to attend this course.
INSTRUCTOR
Giordano Beretta holds a doctorate in computer science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His contributions include: uncovering the numerical problems in computational geometry, the first illustrator with robust area filling, the first geometric workbench, the first color selection tools for palettes, and the first ITU-T compliant low-cost color fax machine. Other than research, he has also worked in strategic planning and intellectual property management; he has lectured on color science, color facsimile technology, and on electronic publishing. He is currently a software design engineer in the Imaging Technology Department at HP Laboratories. He holds several patents related to color imaging technology.
