The Mea­sure­ment of Appear­ance,
2nd Edi­tion by Richard Hun­ter,
Richard Harold

This second edi­tion iden­ti­fies the appear­ance attributes of objects and the meth­ods for mea­sur­ing them. The pri­mary premise here is that object appear­ance involves not only color, but also gloss, lus­ter, and trans­lu­cency.

The first part draws from the fields of phy­si­ol­ogy and psy­chol­ogy and con­sid­ers the eye-brain com­bi­na­tion and the way it receives and inter­prets light sig­nals. The second part deals with the numer­i­cal scales used to mea­sure object appear­ance. The third part cov­ers instru­ments for the mea­sure­ment of the attributes of object appear­ance, their prin­ci­ples of design, and a sur­vey of the major ones in use.

• In-depth anal­y­sis and dis­cus­sion on total appear­ance mea­sure­ment
• Great ref­er­ence resource for the color research sci­en­tist or the QC tech­ni­cian on the pro­duc­tion line
