This book is an attempt at compiling a concise yet descriptive text on a variety of topics in the color processing chain in a digital color imaging device/system. As the title of the book suggests, the aim of this book is to put activities of various academic and industrial groups, either as proprietary research or through standards bodies, into perspective. The editors achieve this by collecti...

Patients with colour agnosia can perceive colours and are able to match coloured patches on hue, but are unable to identify or categorise colours.
