Chapter 6 Color Multimedia Systems Key Points Colour is a subjective sensation produced in the brain. The measurable physical quantity that best models colour is a spectral power distribution (SPD). In the RGB colour model, a colour is represented by three values, giving the proportions of red (R), green (G) and blue (B) light which make up light of the desired colour. Key Points The RGB colour gamut is a proper subset of the visible colours. The colour depth of an image is number of bits used to hold a colour value. Indexed colour: The stored 8-bit value is used as an offset into a colour lookup table (CLUT) or palette containing up to 256 24-bit colour values. Key Points Dithering helps avoid the posterization that can occur when indexed colour is used, by using patterns of dots to simulate a wider range of colours using optical mixing. The CMYK model is important for printing, as it models the way colour is produced by mixing ink or paint. Other colour models include HSV, YUV and its variants, and the CIE device-independent spaces Lab and Luv. Key Points A 24-bit image can be thought of as being made up of three 8-bit channels, one each for red, green and blue in RGB colour. Colour correction etc. can be performed by using techniques from Chapter 5 on individual channels. Colour management software uses device profiles to help maintain consistent colour. Color & Science Color is a subjective sensation produced in the brain. Color & Science Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, we can measure its wavelength. http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/lightandcolor/inde x.html Microwave Ovens The wavelength is tuned to frequencies that are readily absorbed by water molecules in food causing them to absorb energy and release heat as they vibrate. Containers holding the food in microwave ovens usually contain very little water and tend to remain cool. Color & Science Visible light (可見光): 400nm~700nm Color & Science Spectral power distribution (SPD) Color & Science Receptor Cells Rods: night-vision and cannot distinguish color Cones: in three sorts which respond to different wavelengths Cone Response Tristimulus Theory Any colors can be specified by just three values, giving weights of three components. Each type of cone responds to R, G, B Primary Colors Additive mixing TV, monitors Subtractive mixing Paint absorbs light Color Temperature The color temperature model is based on the relationship between the temperature of a theoretical standardized material, called a black body radiator, and the energy distribution of its emitted light as the radiator is brought to increasingly higher temperatures, measured in Kelvin (K). Although this radiator does not exist, many metals behave very similar to a black body so we can take a metal pot as an example for this discussion.

Mixing Colored Inks White light Cyan ink Cyan light Absorption of red light White light Magenta Cyan ink Cyan light Absorption of green light Absorption of red light Not possible to manufacture inks which absorb only light of precisely the complementary color. Some unwanted colors are absorbed. RGB gamut > CMY gamut C+M+M != perfect black With black: CMYK Hue, saturation, brightness As white is mixed in, saturation decreases.
