Colorimetry: Understanding the CIE System summarizes and explains the standards of CIE colorimetry in one comprehensive source. Presents the material in a tutorial form, for easy understanding by students and engineers dealing with colorimetry. Provides an overview of the area of CIE colorimetry, including colorimetric principles, the historical background of colorimetric measurements, uncertainty analysis, open problems of colorimetry and their possible solutions, etc. Includes several appendices, which provide a listing of CIE colorimetric tables as well as an annotated list of CIE publications. Commemorates the 75th anniversary of the CIE's System of Colorimetry.

"This Field Guide provides a basic understanding of how we measure, identify, communicate, specify, and render color. It addresses color order systems, color spaces, color measurement, color difference, additive and subtractive color, and color modeling"--

Colour is a sensation and as such it is a subjective and incommunicable quantity. Colour measurement is possible because we can create a correspondence between colour sensations and the light radiations that stimulate them. This correspondence concerns the physics of light radiation, the physiology of the visual process and the psychology of vision. Historically, in parallel to standard colorimetry, systems for colour ordering have been developed that allow colour specifications in a very practical and concrete way, based on the direct vision of material colour samples arranged in colour atlases. Colour-ordering systems are sources of knowledge of colour vision, which integrate standard colorimetry. Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software: Describes physiology and psychophysics useful to understand colorimetry Considers all the photometric and colorimetric systems standardized by CIE (XYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, LMS) Presents colorimetric instrumentation in order to guide the reader toward colorimetric practice Discusses colorimetric computation to understand the meaning of numerical colour specification Considers colorimetry in colour syntheses and in imaging colour reproduction Includes ready-to-use, freely-available software, “Colorimetric eXercise”, which has multiple toolboxes dedicated to displaying CIE systems, atlases, any colour and its whole numerical specification colour-vision phenomena and tests Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software is an accessible and valuable resource for students, lecturers, researchers and laboratory technicians in colour science and image technology.

Advances in Colorimetry covers the fundamentals of the science of the measurement of color. It is organized into six sections: “Advanced Methods and Tools for Color Measuring and Matching”, “Fundamentals and Applications of Colorimetric Analysis”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Forensic and Defence Industry”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Food Industry”, “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Agriculture, Environmental, Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries”, and “Applications of Colorimetric Analysis for Textiles and Apparel Industry”. Chapters in these sections address colorimetric-related topics such as advances in colorimetric evaluation techniques for color measuring and matching, spectrophotometric color analysis, forensic analysis of bloodstain color, colorimetric characterization of natural dyes, and much more.
