Color Inconstancy Homework

In this homework, I use the Matlab to do calculation. The name of the code is inconst_ind.m. The
color difference equation is CIELAB.
1. For S1:
The color inconstancy index is: 11.2643369 (Using the CAT 97);
When without using the CAT97, the DE is 5.7927518, where the L*a*b* values of the
objective colors were calculated using the Xn Yn and Zn of Illuminant A.

The tristimulus of the objective under Illuminant A are:
X = 34.1257052; Y= 29.4962537; Z=7.2743736;

R = 1.2621819; G= 0.8546067; B=0.2304256
The RGB values of the white point under Illuminant A are
Rw = 1.1923761; Gw= 0.9023414; Bw=0.3406613

The corresponding RGB values of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
Rc = 1.0600841; Gc= 0.9464471; Bc=0.6964189
The corresponding RGB values of the adopted white point under Illuminant D65 are
Rwc = 1.0014554; Gwc= 0.9993116; Bwc=0.9955847

The corresponding tristimulus of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
Xc = 30.0424484; Yc= 29.0009479; Zc=20.7455913
The corresponding tristimulus of the white point under Illuminant D65 are
Xwc = 90.0659499; Ywc= 90.0010324; Zwc=89.6116276

The corresponding Lab values of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
L*c = 60.7824655; a*c= 9.9667487; b*c=16.7533679
The Lab values of the objectives under Illuminant D65 are
L*r = 60.3821002; a*r= -1.1369152; b*r=14.9003595

The L a b difference and color inconstancy (using the CAT97) are
DL = 0.4003653; Da= 11.1036639; Db=1.8530085 DE=11.2643369

The L a b difference and color inconstancy (wihout using the CAT97) are
DL = 0.8350215; Da= 24.0246304; Db=36.6943977 DE=5.7927518


2. For b1
2

The color inconstancy is: 8.2740922 (using the CAT97);
When without using the CAT97, the DE is 2.9924872, where the L*a*b* values of the
objective colors were calculated using the Xn Yn and Zn of Illuminant A.

The tristimulus of the objective under Illuminant A are
X = 33.3407401; Y= 29.4163380; Z=7.2239330
The tristimulus of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
Xr = 26.8250913; Yr= 28.4450422; Zr=21.4580717

The RGB values of the objective under Illuminant A are
R = 1.2412784; G= 0.8722292; B=0.2284342
The RGB values of the white point under Illuminant A are
Rw = 1.1923761; Gw= 0.9023414; Bw=0.3406613
The RGB values of the white point under Illuminant D65 are
Rwr = 1.0001000; Gwr= 1.0000000; Bwr=1.0000000

The corresponding RGB values of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
Rc = 1.0425277; Gc= 0.9659634; Bc=0.6909151
The corresponding RGB values of the adopted white point under Illuminant D65 are are
Rwc = 1.0014554; Gwc= 0.9993116; Bwc=0.9955847

The corresponding tristimulus of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
Xc = 29.3410029; Yc= 28.9887221; Zc=20.5599797
The corresponding tristimulus of the wihite point under Illuminant D65 are
Xwc = 90.0659499; Ywc= 90.0010324; Zwc=89.6116276

The corresponding Lab values of the objective under Illuminant D65 are
L*c = 60.7716744; a*c= 7.3389744; b*c=17.0806453
The Lab values of the objectives under Illuminant D65 are
L*r = 60.2886945; a*r= -0.5375657; b*r=14.5931868

The L a b difference and color inconstancy (using the CAT97) are
DL = 0.4829798; Da= 7.8765400; Db=2.4874584 DE=8.274092
The L a b difference and color inconstancy (without using the CAT97) are
DL = 0.8586280; Da= 20.9775110; Db=37.0701264 DE=2.9924872

From the above result of two samples, it can be known that, when using the CAT 97, the color
differences between two conditions are much larger than that without chromatic transformation.
The transformation in L*a*b* space is also a kind of chromatic adaption. But the degree of
adaption is not as high as that of CAT 97.
