The Perceptual Color Space of Digital Image Display Terminals

The geometric properties of the set of colors that can be displayed on the TV monitor of a digital image processing terminal are discussed in the framework of the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) 1976 (L* u* v*) color space. Quantitative results are presented for the HACIENDA image processing system. The use of lightness, chroma, and hue angle for the representation of multi-band images is briefly discussed.
