Color is measured using instruments that split light into wavelength bands, which are measured individually and returned as so-called spectral measurements. These objective spectral measurements are transformed to psychophysical values using colorimetry, as defined by various international standards ("SEE ALSO"). The ICC::Support::Color module implements these complex standards, providing a simple way to convert spectral measurements to XYZ (colorimetric) values.
An ICC::Support::Color object is a blessed array reference. The array contains six elements, the object header, illuminant, color-matching functions, color-weight functions, adjusted color-weight functions, and white-point.
# create empty Color object my $self = [ {}, # header hash [], # illuminant SPD (CIE) [], # color-matching functions (CIE) [], # color-weight functions (ASTM and ISO 5-3) [], # color-weight functions (adjusted to input range and cached) [] # white-point ];
There are three types of Color objects, 'ASTM', 'CIE' and 'ISO', which implement the corresponding standards in "SEE ALSO". The object type is determined by the parameter hash. If the hash contains the 'status' key, the object type is 'ISO'. If there is no 'status' key and the 'illuminant' value is an array reference ([]), the object type is 'CIE'. If there is no 'status' key and the 'illuminant' value is a scalar or undefined, the object type is 'ASTM'.
The ASTM E 308 standard provides pre-computed color-weight functions for various standard illuminants and observers. There are nine illuminants, two observers, and two data increments. Each combination has two tables, one with and one without bandpass correction. The color-weight functions are selected by the hash values and loaded into the object. For an 'ASTM' object, the illuminant and color-matching function structures are empty.
The CIE 15 standard provides separate color-matching functions and standard illuminant spectral power distributions (SPD). Other illuminant SPDs are provided by Philips. Measured illuminants may also be used. The selected observer and illuminant are loaded into the object. The 'CIE' color-weight functions are computed using interpolation and bandpass correction specified in the hash.
The ISO 5-3 standard provides color-weight functions for various types of densitometry, specified by the 'status' value. The selected color-weight function is loaded into the object. For an 'ISO' object, the illuminant and color-matching function structures are empty.
The header hash contains metadata describing the object. If the object was created from a hash parameter, the header is a copy of that hash. The hash may contain some of the following keys. The allowable values for each key are described in "new". If a key is missing, its default value was used to create the object.
'illuminant' 'observer' 'increment' 'method' 'bandpass' 'imethod' 'ibandpass' 'status' 'type'
Header hash values are accessed per the following example,
$illuminant = $color->header->{'illuminant'}; # get the illuminant value $color->header->{'illuminant'} = $illuminant; # set the illuminant value
Note that changing a header value does not change the behaviour of the object. If different properties are desired, a new object should be created. The header hash is meant to be informative.
The 'illuminant SPD' is stored as a structure containing the wavelength range and spectral power distribution. For example,
$illum = [[low_nm, high_nm, increment_nm], [spd]];
A typical illuminant has the following numerical values,
$illum = [[380, 780, 5], [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09]];
For this example, the starting wavelength is 380 nm, the ending wavelength is 780 nm, and the increment is 5 nm. The SPD value at 380 nm is 0.91, at 385 nm is 0.63, at 390 nm is 0.46, and so on.
The 'color-matching functions' have a similar structure, but with an array of X, Y and Z functions in place of the SPD,
$cmf = [[low_nm, high_nm, increment_nm], [[X-cmf], [Y-cmf], [Z-cmf]]];
The 'color-weight functions', both loaded and cached, have this structure,
$cwf = [[low_nm, high_nm, increment_nm], [[X-cwf], [Y-cwf], [Z-cwf]]];
This is the same structure as the 'color-matching functions' except for the names.
Note the wavelength range may be different for each structure within a single Color object. If there are range differences, they are resolved by interpolation. The interpolation functions use the same notation for wavelength range.
The 'white-point' is stored as an XYZ vector. For example, the D50 white point,
$wtpt = [96.42, 100, 82.51];
Note that each of the object elements has accessor methods (see "General accessors"), except for the cached 'color-weight functions'. Normally, there is no need to access these internal object elements, except for the 'white-point'. The Color object is created from the parameter hash, and does its work through the 'transform' and 'jacobian' methods.
Spectral measurements are made with a spectrophotometer for prints, or with a spectroradiometer for illumination. For each sample, light is split into wavelength bands by a diffraction grating. The instrument returns a list of measurements at each wavelength. For colorimetry, the range of wavelengths is usually confined to visible light, typically between 380 and 780 nm.
An instrument commonly used in the graphic arts, the X-Rite i1Pro 2, measures from 380 to 730 nm with an increment of 10 nm. Each sample consists of 36 measurements, for 380 nm, 390 nm, 400 nm, etc. In the reflective mode, the values returned range from 0 to 1.0, with 1.0 representing a perfect diffuse white. In the emissive mode, the values represent spectral irradiance, and taken together, form the spectral power distribution (SPD).
The optics of a graphic arts spectrophotometer normally illuminate the sample with a 45 degree cone, and capture the light reflected perpendicular from the surface. This is called 45/0 geometry. Industrial spectrophotometers commonly use an integrating sphere to minimize the effect of gloss variation. Measurements from these instruments are incompatible with 45/0 measurements, but are handled identically when computing colorimetry.
When measuring reflective samples, the UV content of the instrument's light source may affect the readings, especially if the samples are printed on paper or media with OBAs (optical brightening agents). The ISO 13655 standard specifies "measurement conditions" for the light source. These measurement conditions are known as 'M0', 'M1', 'M2' and 'M3'. The Chart module has functions to handle the OBA effect using 'M1' and 'M2' measurements. However, the measurement condition is not a factor in colorimetry calculations.
Spectral measurements are objective. They describe the physical properties of materials and light sources. The perception of color is subjective, and depends on the function of the eyes and brain. Colorimetry is the science and technology that relates the spectral properties of light to its perceived color. CIE 15 is the international standard defining colorimetry.
Colorimetry is based on color matching experiments using human observers. The observers match color samples using a mixture of three monochromatic light sources. Color-matching functions are derived from these experiments. The first standard set of color-matching functions was published by the CIE in 1931. These functions were based on a 2 degree field of view. The experiments were repeated with a 10 degree field of view, with corresponding color-matching functions published in 1964. More recently, so-called "physiologically-relevant" color-matching functions were developed and published.
These color-matching functions are used to convert spectral measurements into XYZ values that represent the perceived color. The spectral measurements are multiplied by the color matching functions, then integrated to get the XYZ values. The color matching functions are supplied with a range of 360 to 830 nm and an increment of 1 nm. The CIE recommends that calculations are done with a 1 nm increment for greatest accuracy.
Most graphic arts spectrophotometers measure color with a 10 nm increment. In order to calculate XYZ values with 1 nm colorimetry, it is necessary to interpolate. Interpolation estimates the intermediate values by fitting a mathematical function to the measured data. There are many ways to do this, as explained in the CIE 15 document.
The Color object provides three different interpolation methods, linear, cubic spline, and Lagrange. Linear interpolation uses a straight line function between points. Cubic spline interpolation uses a cubic function between points. Lagrange interpolation uses a polynomial function that passes through some number of points surrounding the interval. The ASTM E 308 and E 2022 standards employ Lagrange interpolation.
In most cases, cubic spline interpolation will provide the best results. A so-called "natural" cubic spline is used, which has continuous first and second derivatives. Linear interpolation is preferred for fluorescent and gas discharge illuminants. For illuminants, the appropriate interpolation method is selected based on the "smoothness" of the SPD. Lagrange interpolation is included for ASTM compatibility.
Wavelengths outside the range of the measuring device are copied from the endpoints. This is the preferred way to extend the data. Fortunately, the values of the color-matching functions become extremely small as they approach the UV and IR regions. This minimizes any errors from an abbreviated measurement range.
To compute the colorimetry of a single sample using a 1 nm increment requires interpolating 470 values, multiplying them by the color-matching functions and illuminant, then adding these products together to get X, Y, and Z values. This consumes a lot of computing power.
This work can be greatly simplified with color-weight functions. Color-weight functions combine the interpolation and integration steps. The colorimetry calculation is reduced to the dot product of each color-weight function and the raw spectral data. The ASTM E 308 standard provides pre-computed color-weight functions for commonly used illuminants. (The ISO 13655 standard contains tables 5.9 and 5.10 from ASTM E 308). Another standard, ASTM E 2022, shows how to create color-weight functions using other illuminants and observers.
When the illuminant is set to a scalar value (e.g. 'D50'), the ASTM E 308 standard tables are used. When the illuminant is set to an array reference (e.g. ['CIE', 'D50']), color-weight functions are computed using the supplied hash parameters. This provides great flexibility, including the use of measured illuminants.
When density is selected by the 'status' key, the appropriate color-weight functions from ISO 5-3 are loaded.
The CIE 15 standard provides a large selection of standard illuminants which include daylight and various artificial light sources. These illuminants are used to compute standard colorimetry, e.g. "D65, 2 degree observer". Of course, it is possible to measure an actual illuminant, but in most instances the illuminant is chosen simply to represent the likely or agreed upon viewing conditions. That is the function of standard illuminants.
The standard illuminants representing daylight are provided at specific color temperatures. For instance, D50 is 5000K, D65 is 6500K, and so on. The standard also provides a method for calculating the SPD at an arbitrary color temperature. The 'daylight' function implements this method,
$color = ICC::Support::Color->new{'illuminant' => [daylight(5700)]}; # daylight at 5700k
The Color module contains SPD data for of all CIE 15 standard illuminants, selected by the names used in the standard. It also contains a set of typical commercial lamp SPDs provided by the Philips Corporation.
Bandpass correction is the adjustment of spectral values to represent the actual zero-bandwidth value at each wavelength. Raw spectral measurements include a band of wavelengths, and represent the convolution of the spectral distribution with the bandpass function of the instrument. Bandpass correction extracts the true distribution from this convoluted raw data. Some instruments do this internally, while others do not, which is why bandpass correction is turned off by default. Bandpass correction is enabled by the 'bandpass' key.
The ASTM E 2729 standard defines a generic bandpass correction method, for instruments having a triangular bandpass function. ASTM calls their method "bandpass rectification", apparently to avoid suggesting that raw spectral data is somehow incorrect. This correction method is selected by setting the 'bandpass' value to 'astm'.
The ASTM E 308 standard contains a complete set of color-weight functions (table 6) with bandpass correction applied. This table is deprecated by ASTM E 2729. One reason for this change is to ensure that bandpass correction is applied to the raw spectral data, which may have a different wavelength range than the color-weight tables.
A more sophisticated bandpass correction method is available that takes into account the bandpass function of the instrument and the interpolation method. This correction method is selected by setting the 'bandpass' value to the shape of the instrument bandpass function. Possible values are 'triangle', 'trapezoid', or a vector representing the actual bandpass function. The 'trapezoid' shape simulates the bandpass function of X-Rite i1 instruments.
The 'transform' method converts spectral data to XYZ data. The spectral data must have a supported structure for this to work correctly. Four basic data types are supported – list, vector, matrix, and structure of vectors,
@list = (0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09); # single sample, a list $vector = [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09]; # single sample, a vector $matrix = [ [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], ]; # multiple samples, a matrix, also known as a 2-D array $struct = [ [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], [ [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], [0.91, 0.63, 0.46, 0.37, 1.29, 12.68, 1.59, 1.79, 2.46, ... 0.16, 0.12, 0.09], ] ]; # multiple samples, a structure of vectors
If we call the 'transform' method on any of these supported data structures, an identical structure containing XYZ values is returned.
The 'jacobian' method requires a single vector as input.
The wavelength range of the input data is determined by the number spectral values. Some commonly used ranges, such as 380 to 730 nm, 10 nm increment, are recognized. These ranges are stored in the $srh hash of the Color module, which may be edited by the user. A non-standard range may be specified for each transform call by adding a hash with the 'range' key.
The encoding of the output values may be specified with the 'encoding' key.
A color object may be used to simulate a camera or scanner. This is done by replacing the observer function with the spectral sensitivity of the device's sensor. This is illustrated by the snippet 'scanner_spectral_model_14.plx'.
If the spectral sensitivity of the sensor is known in advance, the Color object may be created directly using the 'observer' hash key,
$camera = ICC::Support::Color->new({'observer' => [[400, 700, 30], $spec_camera], ... });
Alternately, the 'observer' method may be used with an existing Color object,
$camera->observer([[400, 700, 30], $spec_camera]);
Additional hash parameters, 'cwf_range', 'cwf_ks', and 'observer_exp', have been added to support camera/scanner simulation.
The parameter 'cwf_range' sets the range of the color weight functions, which is normally the same as the observer. The spectral sensitivity function may be coarse, and require interpolation. This parameter enables that within the Color object.
The parameter 'cwf_ks' sets the scale factor used to compute the color weight functions.
The parameter 'observer_exp' is a flag which enables exponentiation of logarithmic 'observer' values.
These parameters may be included in the 'new' hash, or set using the 'header' method,
$camera->header->{'cwf_range'} = [380, 730, 1]; $camera->header->{'cwf_ks'} = 1; $camera->header->{'observer_exp'} = 1;
If the parameters are set this way, the color weight functions should be updated using the '_make_cwf' method.
$camera->_make_cwf;
This method creates an ICC::Support::Color object.
ICC::Support::Color
With no parameters, the object contains the empty basic structure (see "Object structure").
An object is normally created from a hash, as illustrated below.

'RGBV' or 'linear' - reflectance/transmittance values as specified in ISO 5-3 (0 - 100) (default) 'unit' - reflectance/transmittance values with range (0 - 1) 'density' - normal density values as specified in ISO 5-3 (-log10(R/100))
Wavelength range may be specified with optional parameter hash.
This overrides the normal behavior, where the range is determined by the number of spectral values.
The user may edit the $srh hash at the start of the Color module to recognize other data ranges.
This method caclulates the Jacobian matrix for a spectral vector. The colorimetric parameters (illuminant, observer, interpolation, bandpass, etc.) are specified when creating the Color object.
$matrix = $color->jacobian($spectral_vector); $matrix = $color->jacobian($spectral_vector, $hash); ($matrix, $xyz_vector) = $color->jacobian($spectral_vector); ($matrix, $xyz_vector) = $color->jacobian($spectral_vector, $hash);
use ICC::Support::Chart; use ICC::Support::Color; $chart = ICC::Support::Chart->new('~/my_spectral_measurements.txt'); # open chart containing spectral data $color = ICC::Support::Color->new({'illuminant' => ['CIE' => 'D50']}); # make Color object (see note 1) $density = ICC::Support::Color->new({'status' => 'T'}); # make Color object for status T density $spectral = $chart->spectral([]); # get matrix of spectral samples $jac = $color->jacobian($spectral->[1]); # compute Jacobian matrix for spectral vector ($jac, $xyz) = $color->jacobian($spectral->[1]); # compute Jacobian matrix and XYZ vector ($jac, $xyz) = $color->jacobian($spectral->[1], {'encoding' => 'ICC_XYZNumber'}); # 'ICC_XYZNumber' encoding (see note 2) ($jac, $rgbv) = $density->jacobian($spectral->[1], {'encoding' => 'density'}); # 'density' encoding (see note 3) ($jac, $xyz) = $color->jacobian($spectral->[1], {'range' => [330, 780, 5]}); # special wavelength range (see note 4)
This method returns a string showing the structure of the Color object.
$string = $color->sdump([$format]); $color->dump([$format]);
use ICC::Support::Color; $color = ICC::Support::Color->new({'illuminant' => ['CIE' => 'D50']}); $string = $color->sdump(); # dump to string $color->dump(); # dump to STDOUT
