First of all, remembering our basic [[Colorimetry#CIE_xyY|CIEXYZ and CIExyY conversions]], let's enumerate what we know:
 +
:<math>xyz_R = \frac{XYZ_R}{X_R+Y_R+Z_R} = \frac{XYZ_R}{\Sigma_R}</math> from the chromaticities for Red
 +
:<math>xyz_G = \frac{XYZ_G}{X_G+Y_G+Z_G} = \frac{XYZ_G}{\Sigma_G}</math> from the chromaticities for Green
 +
:<math>xyz_B = \frac{XYZ_B}{X_B+Y_B+Z_B} = \frac{XYZ_B}{\Sigma_B}</math> from the chromaticities for Blue
 +
:<math>xyz_W</math> from the chromaticities for White
 +
:<math>Y_W = 1</math> standard luminance for White
 +
:<math>XYZ_W</math> (since we have a completely defined <math>xyY_W</math>, we can thus easily convert to <math>XYZ_W</math>, see [[Colorimetry#CIE_XYZ|CIE XYZ color space]])
 +
 +
Note that we ''don't know'' the <math>XYZ_R</math>, <math>XYZ_G</math> and <math>XYZ_B</math> vectors.
 +
 +
So we are looking for <math>M_{XYZ}</math> so that:
 +
:<math>
 +
XYZ = RGB . M_{XYZ} = RGB .
 +
\begin{bmatrix}
 +
XYZ_R \\
 +
XYZ_G \\
 +
XYZ_B
 +
\end{bmatrix} = RGB .
 +
\begin{bmatrix}
 +
\Sigma_R.xyz_R \\
 +
\Sigma_G.xyz_G \\
 +
\Sigma_B.xyz_B
 +
\end{bmatrix}
 +
</math>
 +
 +
 +
Using <math>RGB_W = [1,1,1]</math> we can write:
 +
:<math>XYZ_W = [1,1,1] . M_{XYZ} = \Sigma_R.xyz_R + \Sigma_G.xyz_G + \Sigma_B.xyz_B</math>
 +
 +
Or, in matrix form again:
 +
:<math>XYZ_W = \Sigma_{RGB} .
 +
\begin{bmatrix}
 +
xyz_R \\
 +
xyz_G \\
 +
xyz_B
 +
\end{bmatrix} = \Sigma_{RGB} . M_{xyz}
 +
</math>
 +
 +
 +
Solving by right composing with <math>M_{xyz}^{-1}</math>:
 +
:<math>
 +
\Sigma_{RGB} = XYZ_W . M_{xyz}^{-1}
 +
</math>
  
−
==Custom Profiles==
+
we thus obtain <math>\Sigma_{RGB}</math> and since:
−
LUT
+
:<math>
 +
\begin{bmatrix}
 +
\Sigma_R . xyz_R \\
 +
\Sigma_G . xyz_G \\
 +
\Sigma_B . xyz_B
 +
\end{bmatrix} =
 +
\begin{bmatrix}
 +
XYZ_R \\
 +
XYZ_G \\
 +
XYZ_B
 +
\end{bmatrix} = M_{XYZ}
 +
</math>
  
 +
we finally obtain <math>M_{XYZ}</math> that converts a RGB color into an XYZ color (obviously, you need to use the inverse <math>M_{XYZ}^{-1}</math> to convert from XYZ back into RGB).

Latest revision as of 15:51, 5 January 2017

As seen in the Colorimetry page, it's important to understand the difference between Absolute (or device-independent) Color Space (.e.g. CIEXYZ, CIExyY, CIELAB) and device-dependent colors spaces (e.g. RGB, HSL, HSB, HSV).

For example, it makes sense to convert from a device-dependent RGB space to a HSL space since, even though they are both device-dependent, they are defined in the same "dependent space".

Also, it makes sense to convert from 2 device-independent spaces like CIEXYZ and CIELAB.

Most importantly, the conversions between device-dependent color spaces and device-independent color spaces must always be accompanied by a Color Profile that appropriately describes the dependence to the device.

del_Max = var_Max - var_Min // Delta RGB value

L = ( var_Max + var_Min ) / 2

if ( del_Max == 0 )         // This is a gray, no chroma...
{
   H = 0                    // HSL results from 0 to 1
   S = 0
}
else                        // Chromatic data...
{
   if ( L < 0.5 ) S = del_Max / ( var_Max + var_Min )
   else           S = del_Max / ( 2 - var_Max - var_Min )

   del_R = ( ( ( var_Max - var_R ) / 6 ) + ( del_Max / 2 ) ) / del_Max

Dealing with Generic Color Profiles

XYZ Matrices

When dealing with standard profiles like sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB you are given the chromaticities of Red, Green, Blue and the one for the White Point.

Also, when opening PNG file you can encounter the cHRM chunk that describes the same chromaticities. You then need to transform these 4 2D values into a 3x3 matrix to convert the RGB value to and from the XYZ master space.


First of all, remembering our basic CIEXYZ and CIExyY conversions, let's enumerate what we know:

<math>xyz_R = \frac{XYZ_R}{X_R+Y_R+Z_R} = \frac{XYZ_R}{\Sigma_R}</math> from the chromaticities for Red
<math>xyz_G = \frac{XYZ_G}{X_G+Y_G+Z_G} = \frac{XYZ_G}{\Sigma_G}</math> from the chromaticities for Green
<math>xyz_B = \frac{XYZ_B}{X_B+Y_B+Z_B} = \frac{XYZ_B}{\Sigma_B}</math> from the chromaticities for Blue
<math>xyz_W</math> from the chromaticities for White
<math>Y_W = 1</math> standard luminance for White
<math>XYZ_W</math> (since we have a completely defined <math>xyY_W</math>, we can thus easily convert to <math>XYZ_W</math>, see CIE XYZ color space)

Note that we don't know the <math>XYZ_R</math>, <math>XYZ_G</math> and <math>XYZ_B</math> vectors.

So we are looking for <math>M_{XYZ}</math> so that:

<math>

XYZ = RGB . M_{XYZ} = RGB . \begin{bmatrix} XYZ_R \\ XYZ_G \\ XYZ_B \end{bmatrix} = RGB . \begin{bmatrix} \Sigma_R.xyz_R \\ \Sigma_G.xyz_G \\ \Sigma_B.xyz_B \end{bmatrix} </math>


Using <math>RGB_W = [1,1,1]</math> we can write:

<math>XYZ_W = [1,1,1] . M_{XYZ} = \Sigma_R.xyz_R + \Sigma_G.xyz_G + \Sigma_B.xyz_B</math>

Or, in matrix form again:

<math>XYZ_W = \Sigma_{RGB} .

\begin{bmatrix} xyz_R \\ xyz_G \\ xyz_B \end{bmatrix} = \Sigma_{RGB} . M_{xyz} </math>


Solving by right composing with <math>M_{xyz}^{-1}</math>:

<math>

\Sigma_{RGB} = XYZ_W . M_{xyz}^{-1} </math>

we thus obtain <math>\Sigma_{RGB}</math> and since:

<math>

\begin{bmatrix} \Sigma_R . xyz_R \\ \Sigma_G . xyz_G \\ \Sigma_B . xyz_B \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} XYZ_R \\ XYZ_G \\ XYZ_B \end{bmatrix} = M_{XYZ} </math>

we finally obtain <math>M_{XYZ}</math> that converts a RGB color into an XYZ color (obviously, you need to use the inverse <math>M_{XYZ}^{-1}</math> to convert from XYZ back into RGB).


Custom ICC Profiles

Decoding true ICC profiles is a little over the top for our purpose so I won't be discussing full custom profiles here although you can read the ICC Profile specs if you like.

Also, if you really need a complete CMS, you should download the excellent Little CMS by Marti Maria.
