Lecture 42 Blog, ECE438 Fall 2010, Prof. Boutin
Monday December 6, 2010 (Week 16;dead week) - See Course Outline.
Today we had a special guest, Mark Shaw, who talked about color imaging. Mr. Shaw is an expert (Senior) Color Imaging R&D Engineer at Hewlett-Packard. You can find a copy of his slides here (pdf format).
Among other things, Mr. Shaw taught us that color perception is an "integration process" which varies depending on the person (esp. color blind individuals) and the conditions of the environment. He illustrated how our perception of color varies depending on the surroundings colors in an image, and how our perception of color varies depending on the conditions of the surrounding environment. He also pointed out that our visual system adapts to its surrounding, and that this adaptation influences our perception of color over time. Towards the end of the lecture, we saw a mathematical way to describe the perceived color in terms of the conditions of the environment.
