Here's something I learned about (from Vision System Design, an
industry magazine) that may interest people. Jack Ladson is (or was)
the chairman of the ASTM Committee on Color and Appearance. He's
giving an introductory webcast on color imaging.

Color imaging is a fast-growing and used frequently technology in
machine-vision applications. While many engineers are familiar with
RGB cameras, very few have explored the different color spaces that
can be used to analyze, interpret, and understand color information.
By transforming RGB color images into different color spaces,
different aspects of an image can be understood. For example, one of
the most commonly used transforms - the HIS transform -- separates
hue, intensity, and saturation components making it easier for image
processing software to interpret the data collected.
In this webcast, Jack Ladson, an optical engineer with long experience
in developing optical systems for color imaging and in color science
and standards, will provide an introduction to color imaging. He will
explain the advantages of color imaging compared to grey-scale
imaging, and the differences, advantages, and benefits associated with
each. He will also explore the different meanings of color --
including CIE, Lab, and HIS - how they differ, and how they can be
applied. He will also provide examples of color imaging applications
and systems and how these different color spaces can be best used to
accomplish specific machine vision tasks.
