Book description
This much needed, comprehensive and modern reference on display
technology, illumination sources and color imaging focuses on visual
effects and how reproduced images are best matched to human visual features.
As such, it teaches readers how to exploit the knowledge of human color
information processing to design usable, ergonomic, and pleasing
displays or visual environments. The contents describe design principles
and methods to optimize self-luminous visual technologies for the human
user, including modern still and motion image displays, and indoor light
sources. Design principles and methods are derived from the knowledge of
the human visual system, with a special emphasis on color vision, color
cognition, color harmony, color preference and visually evoked emotions.
The expert authors include the most important and latest applications of
the design principles and methods, forming a comprehensive view of human
color information processing from the receptors through the retina via
high-level visual perception right up to the level of cognition,
preference, harmony, as well as visually evoked emotions.
