For color-critical, scientific, and archival applications, trichromatic imaging is often insufficient. Spectral imaging alleviates these limitations. This tutorial will overview current spectral-imaging and reproduction techniques. Applications for quality-critical color reproduction (i.e., spectral color reproduction) and scientific-based digital archives will be explored.
Benefits:
Intended Audience: those wishing to become more familiar with the opportunities and challenges within the emerging field of spectral color reproduction, which may include color and imaging scientists, camera and printer designers, and image processing specialists.

T3C: Wide Gamut Color Capture and Reproduction Instructor: Instructor: Charles Poynton, consultant Tuesday November 7, 2006, 1:30 to 3:30 pm Product Code: T3C | ||||||||||||||||||
|
Broadcast television has been restricted to the Rec. 709 color gamut for several decades; desktop graphics has used the same color gamut—in that domain, denoted sRGB—for more than a decade. Rec. 709 and sRGB have a moderate gamut—they fail to encompass the color range of commercial print or photographic reproduction, as well as fail to encompass the gamut available from consumer ink jet printers. Several display technologies are now available that have wider gamut than Rec. 709, for example, LED-backlit LCDs. Wide-gamut display equipment is already commercially available and practical for graphic arts; wide-gamut consumer television receivers have already been introduced. We can expect wide-gamut color to proliferate in the next several years. There are already a few wide-gamut color encoding systems in use for specialized applications, for example, Adobe RGB 1998 for professional digital photography. We can expect additional wide-gamut image coding standards. This course introduces the color science and image science behind wide-gamut color, and will discuss wide-gamut capture, processing, and display in professional and consumer equipment.
Benefits:
Intended Audience: scientists, programmers, visual effects and post-production supervisors, compositors, digital imaging technicians, video, HDTV, and digital cinema engineers.
