Colorimetric Accuracy of Color Reproductions in the 3D Scenes

Abstract

Color is a complex phenomenon that depends on the object, the observer and the light source, while the color reproduction additionally includes the surrounding conditions and it depends on the device that can either capture, display or print the reproduction. Colour accuracy is very important for digital reproduction of artistic work where colour represents essence of art. In our research, color reproductions of renderings of computer generated scenes, including an object, background and lights were assessed, and even more, colorimetric accuracy in renderings was analyzed. With assumption that shading in 3D computer generated scenes plays an important role in visual perception of rendered color, the colors were analyzed on renderings of shaded objects. It was determined that colorimetric accuracy depends on the position on rendered objects, either illuminated or shaded. Furthermore, it was discovered that color lightness and hue, light intensity and background influenced ΔRGB values
