Colour Measurement Abstract: Computer-generated images have exactly three underlaying degrees of freedom: space, time and colour. That is, once you have located a pixel in space and time, and specified its colour, you have fully defined an image. You are explicitly taught now to calculate pixels from metres, and how to calculate frames from seconds, but not so much how to calculate RGB from colour appearance. This talk will give some of the information you need to do that. Bring your pen and paper: there will be equations.
