With every new computer now equipped with CD-ROM and high quality colour display and sound capabilities, multimedia imaging
has become part of mainstream computing. Developers are being pressured to produce applications that make use of
multimedia imaging facilities.
Edited by two leading colour scientists, this volume features contributions from leading international researchers and
developers. It examines the key enabling technologies for such applications including digital colour imaging, spanning the
capture, processing, encoding, transmission and reproduction of realistic colour images.
- Provides extensive coverage of the multimedia materials and Web pages
- Covers a wide range of areas including colour imaging and multimedia user interface
- Colour Illustrations
