Abstract: (FIZ Karlsruhe)
In this paper we deal with the problem of overcoming the intuitive definition of several color perception attributes by replacing them with novel mathematically rigorous ones. Our framework is a quantum-like color perception theory recently developed, which constitutes a radical change of view with respect to the classical Commission Interntional de l’Éclairage models and their color appearance counterparts. We show how quantum information concepts, (e.g., effects, generalized states, postmeasurement transformations, and relative entropy) provide tools that seem to be perfectly fit to model color perception attributes such as brightness, lightness, colorfulness, chroma, saturation, and hue. An illustration of the efficiency of these novel definitions is provided by the rigorous derivation of the so-called lightness constancy phenomenon.
