  • Abstract
    We define color sensitivity or effective color depth based on the "number of reliably distinguished colors", using ideas from information theory. This figure of merit allows the comparison of different sensors or cameras and we indicate how it can be used both for the design of imaging devices and to optimize their adaptation to the scene.
