Full Module Title: COLOUR IMAGING SCIENCE Short Module Title: COLOUR SCIENCE Module Code: 2DPI613 Module Level: 6 Academic credit weighting: 15 credits. Length: 1 semester School: Media, Art and Design. Department: Photographic and Digital Media Module Leader: Sophie Triantaphillidou extension: 4584 e-mail: triants@wmin.ac.uk Host Course: BSc(Hons) Photography and Digital Imaging Status: Option Pre-requisites: None. Co-requisites: None. Assessment: Practical work 40%, coursework 20%, written examination 40%. Summary of Module content: Colour reproduction is studied in the context of the human perception of colour, the technical features of methods available for colour reproduction and its quantitative assessment through colorimetry and colour systems. The limitations of colour reproduction systems are explored together with methods of device characterization and colour calibration. The module provides and introduction to gamut mapping and colour management systems. Current metrics describing colour reproduction quality are introduced and applications are described. Colour appearance phenomena and models are discussed. Module Aims: The module provides an understanding of the fundamental principles of colour vision and colour reproduction and enable the students to characterize quantitatively colour, its communication and reproduction. Learning Outcomes: On completion of the module the successful student will be able to: 1. Understand the principles advantages and limitations of colorimetry. 2. Gain an understanding in developments in digital colour reproduction. 3. Assess quantitatively the quality of digital colour reproductions and systems. 4. Characterise the output of colour reproduction systems. 5. Extend the scope of colour reproduction into quantitative or instrumental, applications if required. 6. Gain an understanding on ICC colour management. 7. Understand the principles behind colour appearance models. 8. Report and communicate on experimental results. Indicative syllabus content: Human colour vision and related perceptual effects: The human visual system: anomalous colour vision, adaptation, spatial induction effects. The specification of colour: Physical, comparative and synthetic methods. Metamerism. CIE standard methods of colour specification. Colour order systems. Colorimetry and CIE colour spaces. Colour reproduction systems and colour correction: Principle, limitations and applications of additive and subtractive methods of colour reproduction. Corrective methods and mechanisms. Colour spaces and digital imaging: Advantages and limitations of device-dependent and deviceindependent colour spaces used in the digital domain. The analysis of colour reproduction: A survey of methods of device characterization required for calibration of digital colour reproduction systems. Case studies of complex imaging applications in digital colorimetric reproduction. DPI_Hbook 86 ©University of Westminster
Colour management systems: Colour communication and reproduction between components of a digital imaging chain. International Colour Consortium (ICC) specifications for colour in computer systems. Gamut mapping and related problems in digital systems. Colour reproduction quality: The quantification of colour reproduction and the assessment of image quality. Colour appearance models: The use of colour appearance to give related colour reproduction quality metrics. Teaching and Learning Methods: The module consists of lectures and seminars, supported by laboratory based practical work in the ratio of 1:2. Assessment Rationale: The importance of practical understanding of, and ability to communicate, scientific information concerning colour reproduction is reflected in the weighting of assessment marks with a total of 40 % being awarded for laboratory work. (Learning outcomes: 1-5,8). A 10-minute seminar presentation, based on experimental work of the student to the rest of the class is design to demonstrate the ability to report and communicate experimental results (Learning outcomes: 3-4,8). The residual 40 % of marks are awarded on a conventional, unseen, time-constrained written examination designed to demonstrate knowledge and its application to problem solving in colour reproduction. (Learning outcomes: 1-3, 6-7). Assessment Criteria: The extent to which the student is able to demonstrate: • Knowledge of colour systems, of colour measurement and quantification and colour spaces. • Understanding of the reproduction of colour in digital imaging systems. • Ability to carry out measurement from images to quantify the colour reproduction of various imaging systems. • Interpret experimental results with due regard for experimental errors, discuss and conclude on the findings in the light of other published results or expected outcomes. • Use reference material as appropriate. Assessment Methods and Weightings: Practical work (2 laboratory report): 40% Coursework: 20% Written examination: 40% Sources: Essential reading R.W.G.
