There are several ways to display the color data of a color image. One option consists in using 3D Visualization to view color data in arbitrary orientation. The interest of using 3D Visualization is to display color information in different color spaces and different color representations. This web site has been designed to provide color visualization and analysis tools.

08/10/2007 : Let me introduce GPU Spectral Viewer an innovative software for multispectral image analysis specially developped for La Joconde painting. This software based on OpenGL does all the color processing by the GPU instead of the CPU. The result is a real time computation even on large multispectral images (2000x3000 13 planes images)
I put online several screenshots and videos of this software in action. I hope you will find it cool :-)

 

06/12/2006 : I have been working for 8 month in a new lab the C2RMF and I have a lot of fun working on multispectral images of famous painting. I designed several new softwares that use GPU for color and multispectral imaging with color management and the result is very cool :-)

I can not put online these softwares for the moment ... but stay tuned.

21/01/2006 : Since three year now I am working on display characterization, may be it is time to show some gamuts. In order to display the 3D representation of these gamuts you have to install CDV.

Display Device	xyY	XYZ	L*a*b*
CRT - Diamond Plus 93SB
LCD - CristalView
LCD Projector - Epson
DLP - NEC

If your are interested in display characterization and color gamut you can send me an email.
