This tutorial offers an introduction to terrestrial and close-range hyperspectral imaging and
some of its uses in human color vision research. The main types of hyperspectral cameras …

We report two studies considering the potential for gallery lighting conditions to modulate
appraisals and emotional experience with works of visual art. As recently documented in a …

Colour is a key element in paintings but its quantitative analysis is seldom used as an
interpretative element in the context of the history of art. Here, we show how this can be …

The ability to digitally remove the varnish layer during the pre-conservation diagnostic of a
painting, without any chemical or physical intervention, could be an advantage because it …

The visual impression of an artistic painting is influenced both by the colour and by the
specific spectral structure of the rendering light source. The relationship between illuminant …

We estimated the number of colors perceived by color normal and color-deficient observers
when looking at the theoretic limits of object-color stimuli. These limits, the optimal color …

The goal of this work was to evaluate the colour rendering of indoor lighting with CIE
illuminants and white LEDs by estimating the chromatic diversity produced for normal and …

Light sources with three spectral bands in specific spectral positions are known to have high-
color-discrimination capability. WA Thornton hypothesized that they may also enhance color …

We propose a chromatic diversity index based on the Munsell set capable of predicting
illuminant induced changes in chromatic diversity of complex scenes. The color differences …

In this Letter, the main attributes known to affect color quality are treated statistically over a
set of 118 spectra representing the current mainstream lighting technology. The color …
