Abstract
How do we reproduce a color image? That is what this chapter and the next are about: the various technologies we have at our disposal to recreate a color experience. None of these technologies is perfect. Perfection in this case means being able to generate a five-dimensional (three spatial dimensions, one spectral dimension, and time) datastream of several gigabaud1 that is indistinguishable from reality. Well, nobody has the technology to do that, at least not yet.
