Yesterday in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Teaching about Color Rendition, basically how the spectral characteristics of light sources can affect object colors. Color is not just an object property, but it strongly depends on lighting, too! Here's the same sunflower under two different white lights:

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Lighting technologies including phosphor-converted (PC)-white LEDs. I keep this ~2010 remote-phosphor LED bulb around just to show how the blue LEDs stimulate fluorescence in the yellow plastic phosphor to produce white light. Today's LEDs integrate this #LED

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪
Teaching about color targets -- uses, important characteristics, history, variety. From the venerable ColorChecker to the Next Generation Target. Also Kodak's Tri-Shirleys! #ColorScience #MCSL

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪
Teaching about color measurement geometry and the effect of gloss & sheen. 45°:0° vs 8°:de vs 8°:di
Ideally a measurement is representative of viewing, in which case excluding gloss is good!

Just back from IS&T Electronic Imaging conference in San Francisco. Lots of interesting presentations, especially one from Michael Rudd of U Nevada Reno that is relevant to my recent work on the visual effects of borders in Augmented Reality

Last week: Brian Wandell of Stanford VISTA Lab at @cvsuor.bsky.social telling us about ISETbio and related things. Great simulation suite for optics, imaging, and vision!
