*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING *** Colour accuracy in computer rendering and display: the opinion of a vision scientist
Dr Marina Bloj, BOCAL - School of Life Sciences, University of Bradford Friday, 15th December 2006, 1400-1500 UTC Room 1.10, Kilburn Building At the Bradford Optometry Colour and Lighting (BOCAL) Lab we use computer rendered and displayed images to study human colour perception including colour memory and colour constancy as well as colour and shape interactions. In this talk I will present recent research from my lab that focuses on establishing colour accuracy at the rendering and display stage and ultimately attempt to answer the question if it all really matters from the human vision point of view. Areas covered will include: spectral rendering vs. 3 colour channels; what is the use of inter-reflections? Are 14-bit channels worth it? How do we display calibrated colour images in a HDR display? As a non-computer scientist I will welcome questions and insights from the audience and their complementary areas of expertise.
