Colour Reproduction in Electronic Imaging Systems: Photography, Television, Cinematography (Hardcover)

With the move of cinema away from film, the adoption of electronic-based production throughout all media is now complete. In order to exploit its advantages, the accurate definition, measurement and reproduction of colour has become more important than ever to achieve the best fidelity of colour reproduction.

This book is concerned with providing readers with all they need to know about colour: how it is perceived and described, how it is measured and generated and how it is reproduced in colour systems. It serves as both a tutorial and a reference book, defining what we mean by colour and providing an explanation of the proper derivation of chromaticity charts and through to the means of ensuring accurate colour management.

Key Features:

• Addresses important theory and common misconceptions in colour science and reproduction, from the perception and characteristics of colour to the practicalities of its rendering in the fields of television, photography and cinematography
• Offers a clear treatment of the CIE chromaticity charts and their related calculations, supporting discussion on system primaries, their colour gamuts and the derivation of their contingent red, green and blue camera spectral sensitivities
• Reviews the next state-of-the-art developments in colour reproduction beyond current solutions, from Ultra-High Definition Television for the 2020s to laser projectors with unprecedented colour range for the digital cinema
• Includes a companion website hosting a workbook consisting of invaluable macro-enabled data worksheets; JPEG files containing images referred to in the book, including colour bars and grey scale charts to establish perceived contrast range under different environmental conditions; and, guides to both the workbook and JPEG files

隨著電影從膠片轉向電子製作，電子製作在所有媒體中的應用已經完全完成。為了充分利用其優勢，準確定義、測量和再現顏色比以往任何時候都更加重要，以實現最佳的顏色再現保真度。

本書旨在為讀者提供有關顏色的所有知識：如何感知和描述顏色，如何測量和生成顏色，以及如何在顏色系統中再現顏色。它既是一本教程，也是一本參考書，定義了我們對顏色的理解，並解釋了色度圖的正確推導方式，以及確保準確的顏色管理手段。

主要特點：

- 探討了顏色科學和再現中的重要理論和常見誤解，從顏色的感知和特性到在電視、攝影和電影製作領域中實現顏色再現的實際問題。
- 提供了對CIE色度圖及其相關計算的清晰解釋，支持對系統原色、色域以及相應的紅、綠、藍相機光譜敏感度的推導的討論。
- 回顧了超高清電視和數位電影中具有前所未有的顏色範圍的激光投影機等當前解決方案以外的顏色再現的最新發展。
- 包含一個附帶網站，提供一個包含寶貴的宏啟用數據工作表的工作簿；包含書中提到的圖像的JPEG文件，包括顏色條和灰度圖，以在不同環境條件下建立感知對比範圍；以及對工作簿和JPEG文件的指南。
