Aim:
After the course the student shall be gaining deep knowledge in image reproduction, with focus on both electronic and conventional media. An important subarea within image reproduction is image quality, including different criteria affecting the perceived image quality for different reproduction methods, and models that include the characteristics of human eye to objectively calculate quality measures. Furthermore, the student shall master the modern systems for color management, both by being able to use the existing software and tools and by implementing the most important models (mathematical and physical) for color reproduction. After the course the student shall be able to:
- Describe the technical conditions, including limitations and possibilities, for a number of different image reproduction methods, both conventional and electronic.
- Describe the differences and properties of different color systems, and identify the optimal choices for different applications.
- Create, use and evaluate ICC-profiles in modern systems for color management.
- Use professional instruments for color measurement, and describe the function and the differences between different types of instruments.
- Calibrate and characterize image reproduction devices in order to ensure repeatability and controllable color reproduction.
- Describe and implement mathematical and physical models for color prediction and color separation.
- Identify and describe the technical attributes in a reproduced image that foremost affect the perceived image quality.
- Evaluate image reproduction quality by applying objective quality models.
- Give an overview of the actual research status within image reproduction, for both electronic and conventional reproduction methods.
