Colour management

Aims

This module provides an opportunity to engage with practical and theoretical aspects of
device-independent colour reproduction

Learning outcomes

On completion of this module the student will be able to :

• Generate, apply and and evaluate ICC device profiles
• Use numerical methods to characterise colour devices for input, output and display
• Apply and evaluate colour and imaging standards

Indicative content

• The need for colour management systems and their architectures
• Colour space and white point conversion
• Characterisation and calibration of devices
• Standards for colour and imaging
• PostScript colour management
• The ICC colour profile
• Colour appearance models
• Colour gamut mapping
• Creating and evaluating device profiles

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and practical workshops

Assessment requirements

This module will be assessed through:

• a documented mathematical model of the relationship between device quantities and
  colorimetric quantities
• a set of device profiles with an evaluation of their performance
