This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Second Computational Color Imaging Workshop, CCIW 2009, which was held in Saint-Etienne, France, in March 2009.

The 23 revised full papers, presented together with one invited paper, were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers, which contain a total of 114 colored figures, are oganized in topical sections on computational color vision models; color constancy; color image/video indexing and retrieval; color image filtering and enhancement; color reproduction (printing, scanning, displays); and multi-spectral, high-resolution and high dynamic range imaging.
