The typical modern French* horn, pictured below, has about 23 total feet of tubing. At the beginning and the end, the tubing is conical. In the middle, the tubing is cylindrical.Depending on which... read more >>

A question on MATLAB Answers caught my eye earlier today. Borys has this pseudocolor image of a weighted adjacency matrix: And he has this image of the color scale: Borys wants to know how to compute... read more >>

I wrote previously about the new colorChecker, which can detect X-Rite test charts in the R2020b release. Another area of new color-related functionality is computing perceptual color differences.... read more >>

Lately, I've been spending more time on MATLAB Central, and I'd like to encourage you to try out some of the resources there, if you haven't already.Have you heard of Cody? It is an addictive MATLAB... read more >>

When I saw this picture, I was really tempted to take it into the local garden nursery and ask them how to keep color checker charts out of my rhododendrons. No, no, this post is not really about... read more >>

Recently, I've been explaining how I made this plot, which is from DIPUM3E (Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB, 3rd ed.): In my July 20 post, I showed one way to compute the spectral colors to... read more >>

I was looking at these two numbers the other day:$0.01$$\frac{5764607523034235}{576460752303423488}$It turns out they are very close, differing only by about 5 parts in a quadrillion.A tech support... read more >>

It was a while ago now, but on April 27 I started explaining how I made this plot, which is from DIPUM3E (Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB, 3rd ed.):... read more >>

The new edition of Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB (DIPUM3E) contains a number of MATLAB functions related to color, color calculations, and color visualization. I wrote about functions for... read more >>

I like to think of geometric transformations of images (stretching, shrinking, rotating, etc.) by starting with the geometric transformations of points. You could think of a geometric point... read more >>
