Cross-media color reproduction

Light, color and the human visual system Color characteristics of solid state cameras, scanners, projectors, displays and printers Color encodings, image states and conversions between them Measurement of color in original scenes and on output devices Gamut limitations of media technology platforms and methods of compensation Calibrating and characterizing media input and output systems Color management for video, web, broadcast, motion picture and print and workflow for cross-media color reproduction Evaluation of color reproduction quality, transforms and devices

The aim of this course is to provide fundamentals and basic knowledge of cross-media color reproduction and color management on different media technology platforms. After completing this course, the students will also have an understanding of, and experience in color encodings applicable to different media platforms including setting up and evaluating a cross-media color reproduction workflow. On completion of this course, the student will be able to:Knowledge: Describe features of the human visual system and color perception applicable to media color reproduction Evaluate the methods used to produce color on different media technology platforms Define the image states and associated color encodings applicable to different media technology platforms, and show how to convert between them Skills: Demonstrate the production of colours defined in terms of human colour appearance on different media technology platforms Set up and evaluate a cross-media color reproduction workflow which converts from an input-referred image state to an output-referred image state General competence Demonstrate the problems that can occur when media platforms are not colour managed using appropriate standards

Coursework projects will be introduced over a two-day workshop in the second week of the course. The workshop will include an introduction to the lab resources needed for each project. This workshop is required for all participants, including remote students.Teaching methods for remote students: off-campus students are supported through the HiG virtual learning environment, and through other modes of contact with the course leader. There will also be tutorials and seminars which you can participate in remotely. Obligatoriske arbeidskrav: All students are required to attend the two-day workshop which introduces the coursework projects.
