About the Author
Prof. Dr. Klaus Richter
received his PhD in 1969 at the Physics Institute at the University
of Basle (Switzerland). In the year 1970 he became the leader
of a laboratory "Colour Reproduction" at the Federal
Institute of Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin. At
the Technical University in Berlin he got his formal admission
as an academical lecturer (habilitation) in 1978 for the field
of "Colorimetry". He gives lectures about "Colour,
Colorimetry and Computer Graphics" at the section Lighting
Technology at the faculty "Electrotechnic and Informatics"
at the Berlin University of Technology (TUB). Between 1975 and 2003
he was vice president of "Deutsches Farbenzentrum e. V. (German
Colour Center)". In the BAM he was head of the Working Group VIII.34
"Visual Methods and Image Reproduction" until 2006.
Since 1999 he is editor of different standards
and technical reports of ISO/IEC, CIE, CEN and DIN.
About the Book
Knowledge about colour is of
special interest in the area of quality specification, colour
reproduction and colour communication. There is a trend to describe
colours in pictures and in document by device independent ISO-CIE
colours and to communicate with this colours world wide by the
programming language PostScript (PS). ISO-CIE-test colours
and colours of the CIELAB colour order system are mixed on colour
displays and colour printers with appropriate basic colours. The
reproduction quality can be defined by colour measurement.
The book and the picture text is in the Adobe formats PS and PDF on a CD ROM. Every book page and any of the 500 colour pictures for educational purposes can be printed by high accuracy on 330 PostScript devices of 60 manufacturers and on other devices with lower accuracy. Look at the book from page to page. Many searches are possible with "Adobe Acrobat Reader" which is on the CD ROM.
Any picture with decriptions in German is on the CD-ROM and in addition in English and German in the internet, see for example NE
Interest Group
Technicians, scientists and designers of colour related areas
which produce colour products and specifiy the quality by colour
measurement. Teachers, students of colleges about colour receive
important picture material designed for output on A4 overhead
film with black and white or colour printers of for the image
presentation with data projectors. The PS images can be changed
and modified by many users with only little knowledge about PostScript
by using any editor.
