Billmeyer and Saltzman's Principles of Color Technology

OFFERS DETAILED COVERAGE OF COLOR, COLORANTS, THE COLORING OF MATERIALS, AND REPRODUCING THE COLOR OF MATERIALS THROUGH IMAGING This all-new fourth edition of Billmeyer and Saltzman's Principles of Color Technology combines the clarity and ease of earlier editions with significant updates about the advancement in color theory and technology. It cuts back on historical coverage and appendix matter to expand on discussion of topics like spatial vision, solid-state lighting, cameras and spectrophotometers, and multivariate statistical analyses. Supplemented with numerical examples, graphs, and illustrations—as well as sidebars that present technical details—this book remains a valuable and accessible introduction and reference. In Billmeyer and Saltzman's Principles of Color Technology, 4th Edition, the topic of color imaging is given its own chapter—as are the subjects of metamerism and color inconstancy. The area of color measurement has been expanded to include measuring color and material appearance using conventional spectrophotometers and spectroradiometers and imaging devices that characterize surface topography and visual texture. The new edition uses the simplest of mathematics (which is matrix algebra in many cases) to aide in instruction. It also includes more numerical examples than previous editions. Provides guidance for how to use color measurement instrumentation, make a visual assessment, set a visual tolerance, and select a formulation Supplements material with numerical examples, graphs, and illustrations that clarify and explain complex subjects Moves important content from a dedicated appendix to sidebars throughout the book Expands coverage of topics including spatial vision, solid-state lighting, cameras and spectrophotometers, and multivariate statistical analyses Billmeyer and Saltzman's Principles of Color Technology, 4th Edition is an important reference for color technologists, color specialists, chemical and industrial engineers, computer scientists, research scientists, and mathematicians interested in color.
