Abstract:
Traditionally, the chromatic adaptation transforms used in color appearance
models are calculated from the tristimulus values of the reference and test
illuminants. However, with modern spectroradiometers it is just as easy to
measure the spectral power distributions of the illuminants as their tristimulus
values so there is no reason to restrict the input parameters to tristimulus
coordinates. We propose a new method of calculating chromatic adaptation
transforms based on using the extra information available in the illuminants’
spectral power distributions. The new method gives comparable results to
the current tristimulus-based chromatic adaptation transforms in most cases,
and better results in some specific situations such as the McCann-McKee-Taylor
experiment.
