Abstract

Color appearance models are of significance for researching in the area of color science, especially the cross-media color reproduction and transfer of images. These models can be used to solve series of problems with color appearance phenomenon, such as color contrast and chromatic adaptation, and can also be used to accurately predicted the perceptual attributes of color appearance under various viewing conditions included light source, illumination level, visual background and medium. In this article, a research review of color appearance models are provided with the illustration of the definition, the characteristics and suitable range, and a summary of the basic framework and development process, application values and areas are also included in this paper with the problems of color appearance models to be solved, aiming to offer the references for the same trades working in color transfer and reproduction related fields.
