Description

This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schr�dinger�s work on colorimetry. In his work Schr�dinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods � in detail and at length – which represented a dramatic conceptual shift in colorimetry. Schr�dinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schr�dinger�s bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory.Typham this is the title: Erwin Schr�dinger’s Color Theory Translated with Modern Commentary
