COLOR

Colorimetric eXercise

Colorimetry is a science with high visual value and with a strong connection with measurements and computations. Measurements, colorimetric computations, monitor visualizations of the colours, and today colour management in image acquisitions and reproductions and colorant formulations, are made by a computer. These practical reasons induced us to collect all the standard definitions of the colorimetric quantities, the algorithms, the atlases and to present all that in ready to use software, named ‘Colorimetric eXercise’
The main purposes of the software are:

  1. to support teachers and students in learning colorimetry

  2. to provide the lab technicians with an useful tool for computations

IMAGE ENHANCEMENT

SCAs algorithms

Color can deeply change its characteristics when put and analyzed into its spatial context. This consideration has originated a group of algorithms which aim to change a point according to the whole scene in which the point is observed. The term used to refer to these algorithms is "Spatial Color Algorithms" (SCAs). In the last years, we proposed several SCAs, based or inspired by Retinex theory of color vision. Here you can download some SCAs executable:

  1. ACE (Automatic Color Equalization) developed by Carlo Gatta: ACE.zip

  2. RSR (Random Spray Retinex)- ACE - RACE developed by Carlo Gatta: RSR-ACE-RACE.zip

  3. Termite developed by Gabriele Simone: Termite.zip
