October 29, Tuesday, 13:30 – 15:30 (2 hours)

Instructor: Ming Ronnier Luo, Zhejiang University

Level: Intermediate

Prerequisites: Understanding of basic color science (XYZ, CIELAB, CIECAMs).

Benefits This course enables the attendee to:

 • Understand the structure of uniform color spaces (UCSs).

 • Learn to produce robust psychophysical data to evaluate UCSs.

 • Know the methods for testing and reporting their performances.

 • Apply UCSs in different applications such as imaging and lighting industries.

Course Description

This course covers theories behind existing uniform color spaces (UCSs), properties of UCSs (color uniformity and hue linearity), methods for the evaluation of UCSs, and application of UCSs to evaluate the quality of light sources and to SDR and HDR images. A UCS with simple structure and predictive accuracy is also introduced.

Intended Audience: color engineers/scientists in the fields color science, imaging science, illumination engineering, and digital imaging, such as cameras, displays, and image processing.

Ronnier Luo is a chair professor in the Optical Engineering Department, Zhejiang University (China). He has more than 750 publications in the fields of color science, imaging science, and illumination engineering. A Fellow of IS&T and SDC, he has been an active member of CIE and received numerous awards, including the 2017 Judd Award and the 2020 Newton Award for his contribution in color science research. Luo has taught color science and image engineering for 30 years at three institutions and given courses/seminars at CIC, CGIV, and CIE, for more than 10.
