Abstract
A common problem in scientific visualization is that of displaying data using color in a way that matches the characteristics of the display medium. The data may be linear, two-dimensional, or spatial; it may be false-colored data from a sensor or data for which we have preconceived assumptions about its color. The medium may be a TV monitor, photographic film, print, or the newer thermal media. On January 10, 1992 Donald H. Singley from 3M discussed briefly theories of color perception and the capacity of the eye to distinguish color “volumes,” and then turned to the problems of matching the data to the medium, especially in the case of photographic film.
