From the Back Cover: The definitive reference on CIE colorimetry

Since 1931, the CIE (the International Commission on Illumination, abbreviated as CIE from the original French, Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) has set colorimetric standards and procedures that are now integral in performing laboratory and industrial color measurements. Over the past seventy-six years, the CIE has periodically issued updates and further recommendations regarding colorimetry; this book compiles this information in one practical, comprehensive resource that:

• Addresses all aspects of CIE colorimetry, including: basic principles, colorimetric measurements and calculations (including uncertainty analysis), color difference and color appearance evaluation, color management, visual fundamentals and their implications in updating the colorimetric system (i.e., temporal and spatial problems), and more
• Covers the historical background of colorimetric measurements, recent developments, and future perspectives
• Helps readers understand the fundamentals and properly use the current international standards and recommendations
• Presents the material?in a tutorial format that is accessible to both professionals in the field and students
• Includes several appendices, with a listing of CIE publications and more

This is the single-source, hands-on reference for color and vision scientists, industrial color engineers, and lighting and optical engineers. It is also an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses dealing with colorimetry.
