Supporting Concepts

Color science and image-quality metrics apply across every stage of the Core Pipeline rather than belonging to one stage, and camera systems combine the whole pipeline into a single object for practical use. These pages give each of those topics a proper conceptual entry point.

Page	Covers
Color Science	Color matching functions, illuminants, and the colorimetric transforms (XYZ, LAB, LMS, sRGB) used throughout ISETCam.
Metrics	Image-quality metrics — spatial (MTF, acutance, SSIM), color (CIELAB, spatial CIELAB), and noise (PSNR, vSNR) — computed from pipeline output.
Camera Systems	The combined camera object for full-pipeline simulation, and where experimental camera-design tools stand.

See Core Pipeline for the scene/optics/sensor/image-processing/display stages these concepts apply to, and Tutorials / Examples for runnable code.
