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. Multispectral imaging 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 report, a frame-work for appearance reproduction is introduced with relating the computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing techniques. The case studies are introduced for skin appearance reproduction, appearance control using projector, video quality assessment on display.
