Color Imaging Arithmetic: Physics U Math > Physics + Math

摘要

Color imaging devices for capture, display, and user interaction commonly form the physical interface by which we connect to the digital cyber-world. Because these devices bridge the physical and the electronic worlds, elegant and effective solutions to problems in color imaging can often be found by the synergistic combination of physical intuition with the mathematical tools of signal and image processing. In this paper, we support this claim using case studies drawn from our past research in color imaging. For each of the illustrative examples, we highlight how the blend of physical insight and mathematical modeling, offer in the combination, advantages significantly greater than would be estimated as the sum of the individual parts, thereby justifying the title for this paper.
