Abstract
With the recent progress of broad-band network, accurate appearance reproduction across the various environments is required for objects in various applications such as e-commerce, designing process, and tele-medicine. Multispectralimaging techniques are expected to perform the cross-environment color reproduction for objects. However, color is just one attribute for appearance of the objects. Other attributes such as glossiness, graininess and translucency should be also considered for practical cross-environment appearance reproduction. In this review, a frame-work for appearance reproduction is introduced with relating the computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing techniques. The importance of the multi-spectral imaging technique is also recognized again on this frame-work. The case studies are introduced based on the examples we have performed in our practical applications.
