Through osmosis from hanging around some very geeky computer graphic
software developers in the late 80's, I've always assumed some university
research work was available in the public domain (or at least to some
Stanford alumni) in the color/computer science area. Tables and formulas in
particular in regards to CIELAB. A couple of short years later, EFI,
Pantone, Kodak, and others start to tout color management based on common
technology.
There are several conferences devoted to this type of research, for instance
the IS&T/SID Color Imaging Conference held in Scottsdale each year, (2004 being
the 12th conference), a similar conference being held in Europe each year,
and probably half a dozen or more other conferences and professional journals
that overlap this subject area. Contributors to these forums are both from
academia (Munsell Color Science Laboratory, Derby University etc.) and industry.
While the foundations of color science have been around for quite a while
(the standard observer in 1931 for instance), current research on refinement
of understanding, new standards and application to practical problems, is
quite diverse and ongoing. This has really been spurred on by the increasing
availability of fast computers, the diversity of color input and output
devices that have become available, and the uptake of color into everyday
communications.
It would be a mistake to simply assume that all color management is based on
some common technology, even if the ability to interoperate is based on common
standards and accepted color science.
