Lecture 43 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2010, Prof. Boutin

Wednesday December 8, 2010 (Week 16;dead week) - See Course Outline.


Today our special guest, Mark Shaw, presented the second and last part of his talk on color imaging. his talk on color imaging. Among other things, we learned about different ways to write color coordinates (e.g., in spectrogram terms versus in perception terms) and different ways to quantify color similarity. We also learned about the pipeline to map the colors of one device onto that of another device.

Discussion

Any comments? Did you enjoy the talk?

  • I really enjoyed it. I'm not really into this side of DSP applications but I've heard some of the terminology before. I guess I never really realized just how much goes into deciding what a color is - especially when Mark explained about how, in the old days, they had to literally get 30 people to decide on one approximation of one color. That's ridiculous!! I'm thinking about the amount of manpower and time that goes into that sort of thing and in today's world, time is money and companies don't have that kind of time! ~ksoong
