In this work we present a method to calculate the spectrum of the fundamental primaries of a digital camera from the experimental knowledge of its spectral sensitivities. The color triangle of the camera, linked to the chromaticities of its primaries,…

This project investigates how doctoral students make
‘learning leaps’ to recognise and cross conceptual

which they can be best supported to do so. It
responds to current national and international
concerns…
