| Abstract: | The earlier experimental results (Color Res. Appl. 16, 166–180, 181–197; 18, 98–113, 191–209; 20, 18–28) have been further extended to include data obtained using complex images. Binocular memory and simultaneous matching techniques were used to assess the colour reproduction quality of displayed monitor images processed via eight colour models against a hardcopy (original) image illuminated in a viewing cabinet. The results from a panel of nine observers were used to compare different colour models' performance. It was found that the BFD chromatic adaptation transform outperformed the other models. The Hunt94 model, which gave a good fit to the earlier results, did not perform well. This indicates that there are differences in colour appearance between the complex and simple viewing fields. Other aspects were also investigated such as observer precision and repeatability, spatial uniformity of the monitor, image dependency, and the difference between the category judgment and paired comparison results. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
