The primary premise here is that ``object appearance'' involves not only color, but such attributes as gloss, luster, and translucency. The first part of the book, concerned with nature of appearance, draws from the fields of physiology and psychology and considers the eye-brain combination and the way it receives and interprets light signals. This is followed by a consideration of the optical properties of objects from the physical standpoint. The second part of the book deals with the numerical scales used to measure object appearance. The discussion here draws on psychophysics in describing the uses of physical techniques to give numbers having psychological significance. The third part of the book covers instruments for the measurement of the attributes of object appearance, their principles of design, and a survey of the major ones in use. The final chapter discusses specific applications of appearance measurement. Includes appendixes and a glossary.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAPPEARANCE ATTRIBUTES AND THEIR BASES IN PHYSICS, PSYCHOLOGY, ANDPHYSIOLOGY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Attributes of the Appearance of Objects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Light Sources and Illumination.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Interaction of Objects with Light.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Human Observer and Visual Evaluation of ObjectAppearance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Psychophysical Scales for Appearance Measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMERICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR APPEARANCEATTRIBUTES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Scales for Gloss and Other Geometric Attributes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The CIE Standard Observers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Uniform Color Scales.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Scales for the Measurement of Color Difference.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Special Scales for White Colors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Other Scales for Color Identification.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INSTRUMENTS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF APPEARANCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instrument Classification and Components.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instrument for the Geometric Attributes of Object Appearance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instruments for the Chromatic Attributes of ObjectAppearance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Standards, Standardization and Measurement Techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Specimen Selection, Preparation, and Presentation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Applications of Appearance Measurements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516140974360,"sku":"9780471830061","price":235.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471830061.jpg?v=1786676633","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-measurement-of-appearance-hardback-9780471830061","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
