41-410: The two major parts of the model are its chromatic adaptation transform, CIECAT02 , and its equations for calculating mathematical correlates for the six technically defined dimensions of color appearance: brightness ( luminance ), lightness , colorfulness , chroma , saturation , and hue . Brightness is the subjective appearance of how bright an object appears given its surroundings and how it

82-675: A can be matched to EMEG activity ( entrainment ), each with their own characteristic delay. Chromatic adaptation Chromatic adaptation is the human visual system’s ability to adjust to changes in illumination in order to preserve the appearance of object colors. It is responsible for the stable appearance of object colors despite the wide variation of light which might be reflected from an object and observed by our eyes. A chromatic adaptation transform ( CAT ) function emulates this important aspect of color perception in color appearance models . An object may be viewed under various conditions. For example, it may be illuminated by sunlight,

123-407: A CAT function, CMCCAT97 and CAT02 respectively. CAT02's predecessor is a simplified version of CMCCAT97 known as CMCCAT2000. Luminance Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It describes the amount of light that passes through, is emitted from, or is reflected from a particular area, and falls within

164-476: A given solid angle . The procedure for conversion from spectral radiance to luminance is standardized by the CIE and ISO . Brightness is the term for the subjective impression of the objective luminance measurement standard (see Objectivity (science) § Objectivity in measurement for the importance of this contrast). The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m ). A non-SI term for

205-520: A lossless medium, the luminance does not change along a given light ray . As the ray crosses an arbitrary surface S , the luminance is given by L v = d 2 Φ v d S d Ω S cos ⁡ θ S {\displaystyle L_{\mathrm {v} }={\frac {\mathrm {d} ^{2}\Phi _{\mathrm {v} }}{\mathrm {d} S\,\mathrm {d} \Omega _{S}\cos \theta _{S}}}} where More generally,

246-450: A particular surface from a particular angle of view . Luminance is thus an indicator of how bright the surface will appear. In this case, the solid angle of interest is the solid angle subtended by the eye's pupil . Luminance is used in the video industry to characterize the brightness of displays. A typical computer display emits between 50 and 300 cd/m . The sun has a luminance of about 1.6 × 10  cd/m at noon. Luminance

287-541: A viewing condition is fixed. A more commonly-used derivative is the CAM02 Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS), an extension with tweaks to better match experimental data. Like many color models, CIECAM02 aims to model the human perception of color. The CIECAM02 model has been shown to be a more plausible model of neural activity in the primary visual cortex , compared to the earlier CIELAB model. Specifically, both its achromatic response A and red-green correlate

328-618: A way similar to the way a digital camera records color images. The luminance of a specified point of a light source, in a specified direction, is defined by the mixed partial derivative L v = d 2 Φ v d Σ d Ω Σ cos ⁡ θ Σ {\displaystyle L_{\mathrm {v} }={\frac {\mathrm {d} ^{2}\Phi _{\mathrm {v} }}{\mathrm {d} \Sigma \,\mathrm {d} \Omega _{\Sigma }\cos \theta _{\Sigma }}}} where If light travels through

369-400: Is invariant in geometric optics . This means that for an ideal optical system, the luminance at the output is the same as the input luminance. For real, passive optical systems, the output luminance is at most equal to the input. As an example, if one uses a lens to form an image that is smaller than the source object, the luminous power is concentrated into a smaller area, meaning that

410-439: Is also useful to be aware of the difference between the terms adopted white point (the computational white point ) and the adapted white point (the observer white point). The distinction may be important in mixed mode illumination, where psychophysical phenomena come into play. This is a subject of research. CIECAM02 defines three surround(ing)s – average, dim, and dark – with associated parameters defined here for reference in

451-408: Is considered self-luminous) and unity for complete adaptation ( color constancy ). In practice, it ranges from 0.65 to 1.0, as can be seen from the diagram. Intermediate values can be calculated by: where surround F is as defined above and L A is the adapting field luminance in cd/m. In CIECAM02, the reference illuminant has equal energy L wr = M wr = S wr = 100 ) and

492-430: Is illuminated. Lightness is the subjective appearance of how light a color appears to be. Colorfulness is the degree of difference between a color and gray. Chroma is the colorfulness relative to the brightness of another color that appears white under similar viewing conditions. This allows for the fact that a surface of a given chroma displays increasing colorfulness as the level of illumination increases. Saturation

533-447: Is proportional to L A (meaning no luminance level adaptation). The photopic threshold is roughly L W = 1 (see F L – L A graph above). CIECAM02 defines correlates for yellow-blue, red-green, brightness, and colorfulness. Let us make some preliminary definitions. The correlate for red–green ( a ) is the magnitude of the departure of C 1 from the criterion for unique yellow ( C 1 = C 2 / 11 ), and

574-456: Is the cone sensitivity matrix and f {\displaystyle f} is the spectrum of the conditioning stimulus. This leads to the von Kries transform for chromatic adaptation in LMS color space (responses of long-, medium-, and short-wavelength cone response space): This diagonal matrix D maps cone responses, or colors, in one adaptation state to corresponding colors in another; when

615-467: Is the stimulus , from which the tristimulus values should be measured in CIE XYZ using the 2° standard observer . The intermediate circle is the proximal field , extending out another 2°. The outer circle is the background , reaching out to 10°, from which the relative luminance (Y b ) need be measured. If the proximal field is the same color as the background, the background is considered to be adjacent to

656-479: Is the colorfulness of a color relative to its own brightness. Hue is the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, green, blue, and yellow, the so-called unique hues . The colors that make up an object’s appearance are best described in terms of lightness and chroma when talking about the colors that make up the object’s surface, and in terms of brightness, saturation and colorfulness when talking about

697-449: Is to apply a gain to each of the human cone cell spectral sensitivity responses so as to keep the adapted appearance of the reference white constant. The application of Johannes von Kries 's idea of adaptive gains on the three cone cell types was first explicitly applied to the problem of color constancy by Herbert E. Ives , and the method is sometimes referred to as the Ives transform or

738-421: Is unknown, it can be estimated from the absolute luminance of the white point as L A = L W / 5 using the "medium gray" assumption. (The expression for F L is given in terms of 5 L A for convenience.) In photopic conditions, the luminance level adaptation factor ( F L ) is proportional to the cube root of the luminance of the adapting field ( L A ). In scotopic conditions, it

779-460: The correlate for yellow–blue ( b ) is based on the mean of the magnitude of the departures of C 1 from unique red ( C 1 = C 2 ) and unique green ( C 1 = C 3 ). The 4.5 factor accounts for the fact that there are fewer cones at shorter wavelengths (the eye is less sensitive to blue). The order of the terms is such that b is positive for yellowish colors (rather than blueish). The hue angle ( h ) can be found by converting

820-517: The illuminance is higher at the image. The light at the image plane, however, fills a larger solid angle so the luminance comes out to be the same assuming there is no loss at the lens. The image can never be "brighter" than the source. Retinal damage can occur when the eye is exposed to high luminance. Damage can occur because of local heating of the retina. Photochemical effects can also cause damage, especially at short wavelengths. The IEC 60825 series gives guidance on safety relating to exposure of

861-470: The adaptation state is presumed to be determined by the illuminant, this matrix is useful as an illuminant adaptation transform. The elements of the diagonal matrix D are the ratios of the cone responses (Long, Medium, Short) for the illuminant's white point . The more complete von Kries transform, for colors represented in XYZ or RGB color space , includes matrix transformations into and out of LMS space , with

902-472: The bright yellow petals of flowers will appear dark compared to the green leaves in dim light while the opposite is true during the day. This is known as the Purkinje effect , and arises because the peak sensitivity of the human eye shifts toward the blue end of the spectrum at lower light levels. The von Kries chromatic adaptation method is a technique that is sometimes used in camera image processing. The method

943-509: The diagonal transform D in the middle. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has published a set of color appearance models , most of which included a color adaptation function. CIE L*a*b* (CIELAB) performs a "simple" von Kries-type transform in XYZ color space, while CIELUV uses a Judd-type (translational) white point adaptation. Two revisions of more comprehensive color appearance models, CIECAM97s and CIECAM02 , each included

984-462: The eye to lasers, which are high luminance sources. The IEC 62471 series gives guidance for evaluating the photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems including luminaires. Specifically it specifies the exposure limits, reference measurement technique and classification scheme for the evaluation and control of photobiological hazards from all electrically powered incoherent broadband sources of optical radiation, including LEDs but excluding lasers, in

1025-420: The illuminance of the reference white in lux, L W is the absolute luminance of the reference white in cd/m, and Y w is the relative luminance of the reference white in the adapting field. If unknown, the adapting field can be assumed to have average reflectance ("gray world" assumption): L A = L W / 5 . Note : Care should be taken not to confuse L W , the absolute luminance of

1066-454: The integral covers all the directions of emission Ω Σ , In the case of a perfectly diffuse reflector (also called a Lambertian reflector ), the luminance is isotropic, per Lambert's cosine law . Then the relationship is simply L v = E v R π . {\displaystyle L_{\text{v}}={\frac {E_{\text{v}}R}{\pi }}.} A variety of units have been used for luminance, besides

1107-399: The light of a fire, or a harsh electric light. In all of these situations, human vision perceives that the object has the same color: a red apple always appears red, whether viewed during the day or at night (if the red apple is illuminated as rods in our eyes do not see red). On the other hand, a camera with no adjustment for light may register the apple as having varying color. This feature of

1148-780: The light that is emitted by or reflected off the object. CIECAM02 takes for its input the tristimulus values of the stimulus, the tristimulus values of an adapting white point , adapting background, and surround luminance information, and whether or not observers are discounting the illuminant ( color constancy is in effect). The model can be used to predict these appearance attributes or, with forward and reverse implementations for distinct viewing conditions, to compute corresponding colors. The Windows Color System introduced in Windows Vista uses Canon 's Kyuanos (キュアノス) technology for mapping image gamuts between output devices, which in turn uses CIECAM02 for color matching. The inner circle

1189-759: The luminance along a light ray can be defined as L v = n 2 d Φ v d G {\displaystyle L_{\mathrm {v} }=n^{2}{\frac {\mathrm {d} \Phi _{\mathrm {v} }}{\mathrm {d} G}}} where The luminance of a reflecting surface is related to the illuminance it receives: ∫ Ω Σ L v d Ω Σ cos ⁡ θ Σ = M v = E v R , {\displaystyle \int _{\Omega _{\Sigma }}L_{\text{v}}\mathrm {d} \Omega _{\Sigma }\cos \theta _{\Sigma }=M_{\text{v}}=E_{\text{v}}R,} where

1230-435: The parameter D . For the general CAT02, the corresponding color in the reference illuminant is: where the Y w / Y wr factor accounts for the two illuminants having the same chromaticity but different reference whites. The subscripts indicate the cone response for white under the test ( w ) and reference illuminant ( wr ). The degree of adaptation (discounting) D can be set to zero for no adaptation (stimulus

1271-414: The rectangular coordinate ( a , b ) into polar coordinates: To calculate the eccentricity ( e t ) and hue composition ( H ), determine which quadrant the hue is in with the aid of the following table. Choose i such that h i ≤ h ′ < h i +1 , where h ′ = h if h > h 1 and h ′ = h + 360° otherwise. (This is not exactly the same as the eccentricity factor given in

1312-475: The reference white in cd/m, and L w the red cone response in the LMS color space . Given a set of tristimulus values in XYZ , the corresponding LMS values can be determined by the M CAT02 transformation matrix (calculated using the CIE 1931 2° standard colorimetric observer ). The sample color in the test illuminant is: Once in LMS, the white point can be adapted to the desired degree by choosing

1353-486: The reference white is the perfect reflecting diffuser (i.e., unity reflectance, and Y wr = 100 ) hence: Furthermore, if the reference white in both illuminants have the Y tristimulus value ( Y wr = Y w ) then: After adaptation, the cone responses are converted to the Hunt–Pointer–Estévez space by going to XYZ and back : Note that the matrix above, which was inherited from CIECAM97s, has

1394-399: The rest of this article: For intermediate conditions, these values can be linearly interpolated. The absolute luminance of the adapting field, which is a quantity that will be needed later, should be measured with a photometer . If one is not available, it can be calculated using a reference white: where Y b is the relative luminance of background, the E w = πL W is

1435-513: The same unit is the nit . The unit in the Centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS) (which predated the SI system) is the stilb , which is equal to one candela per square centimetre or 10 kcd/m . Luminance is often used to characterize emission or reflection from flat, diffuse surfaces. Luminance levels indicate how much luminous power could be detected by the human eye looking at

1476-403: The stimulus. Beyond the circles which comprise the display field ( display area , viewing area ) is the surround field (or peripheral area ), which can be considered to be the entire room. The totality of the proximal field, background, and surround is called the adapting field (the field of view that supports adaptation—extends to the limit of vision). When referring to the literature, it

1517-481: The table.) Calculate the achromatic response A : where The correlate of lightness is where c is the impact of surround (see above), and The correlate of brightness is Then calculate a temporary quantity t. The correlate of chroma is The correlate of colorfulness is The correlate of saturation is The appearance correlates of CIECAM02, J , a , and b , form a uniform color space that can be used to calculate color differences , as long as

1558-411: The unfortunate property that since 0.38971 + 0.68898 – 0.07868 = 1.00001, 1 ⃗ ≠ M H 1 ⃗ and that consequently gray has non-zero chroma, an issue which CAM16 aims to address. Finally, the response is compressed based on the generalized Michaelis–Menten equation (as depicted aside): F L is the luminance level adaptation factor. As previously mentioned, if the luminance level of the background

1599-401: The visual system is called chromatic adaptation, or color constancy ; when the correction occurs in a camera it is referred to as white balance . Though the human visual system generally does maintain constant perceived color under different lighting, there are situations where the relative brightness of two different stimuli will appear reversed at different illuminance levels. For example,

1640-528: The von Kries–Ives adaptation. The von Kries coefficient rule rests on the assumption that color constancy is achieved by individually adapting the gains of the three cone responses, the gains depending on the sensory context, that is, the color history and surround. Thus, the cone responses c ′ {\displaystyle c'} from two radiant spectra can be matched by appropriate choice of diagonal adaptation matrices D 1 and D 2 : where S {\displaystyle S}

1681-499: The wavelength range from 200 nm through 3000 nm . This standard was prepared as Standard CIE S 009:2002 by the International Commission on Illumination. A luminance meter is a device used in photometry that can measure the luminance in a particular direction and with a particular solid angle . The simplest devices measure the luminance in a single direction while imaging luminance meters measure luminance in
