AK Peters Ltd. 2008 1058 pages $125.00 Hardcover TA1634 Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and computer engineering, this text/DVD explains color theory and its practical use in engineering-oriented disciplines such as computer graphics, computer vision, photography, film, and image processing. Section I, on principles, covers physics of light, chemistry of matter, human vision, and perception. Section II covers color models, with chapters on topics such as photometry photometry (fōtŏm`ətrē), branch of physics dealing with the measurement of the intensity of a source of light, such as an electric lamp, and with the intensity of light such a source may cast on a surface area. , color spaces, and illuminants. Section III covers digital color imaging, with chapters on image capture, display technologies, and color management. Appendices offer background on vectors and matrices, trigonometry trigonometry [Gr.,=measurement of triangles], a specialized area of geometry concerned with the properties of and relations among the parts of a triangle. Spherical trigonometry is concerned with the study of triangles on the surface of a sphere rather than in the , and complex numbers. The companion DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.
