color appearance models

since color appearance parameters , color appearance phenomena numerous , task complex, there no single color appearance model universally applied; instead, various models used.

this section lists of color appearance models in use. chromatic adaptation transforms of these models listed in lms color space.

cielab

in 1976, cie set out replace many existing, incompatible color difference models new, universal model color difference. tried achieve goal creating perceptually uniform color space, i.e. color space identical spatial distance between 2 colors equals identical amount of perceived color difference. though succeeded partially, thereby created cielab (“l*a*b*”) color space had necessary features become first color appearance model. while cielab rudimentary color appearance model, 1 of used because has become 1 of building blocks of color management icc profiles. therefore, omnipresent in digital imaging.

one of limitations of cielab not offer full-fledged chromatic adaptation in performs von kries transform method directly in xyz color space (often referred “wrong von kries transform”), instead of changing lms color space before more precise results. icc profiles circumvent shortcoming using bradford transformation matrix lms color space (which had first appeared in llab color appearance model) in conjunction cielab.

nayatani et al. model

the nayatani et al. color appearance model focuses on illumination engineering , color rendering properties of light sources.

hunt model

the hunt color appearance model focuses on color image reproduction (its creator worked in kodak research laboratories). development started in 1980s , 1995 model had become complex (including features no other color appearance model offers, such incorporating rod cell responses) , allowed predict wide range of visual phenomena. had significant impact on ciecam02, because of complexity hunt model difficult use.

rlab

rlab tries improve upon significant limitations of cielab focus on image reproduction. performs task , simple use, not comprehensive enough other applications.

llab

llab similar rlab, tries stay simple, additionally tries more comprehensive rlab. in end, traded simplicity comprehensiveness, still not comprehensive. since ciecam97s published thereafter, llab never gained widespread usage.

ciecam97s

after starting evolution of color appearance models cielab, in 1997, cie wanted follow comprehensive color appearance model. result ciecam97s, comprehensive, complex , partly difficult use. gained widespread acceptance standard color appearance model until ciecam02 published.

ipt

ebner , fairchild addressed issue of non-constant lines of hue in color space dubbed ipt. ipt color space converts d65-adapted xyz data (xd65, yd65, zd65) long-medium-short cone response data (lms) using adapted form of hunt-pointer-estevez matrix (mhpe(d65)).

the ipt color appearance model excels @ providing formulation hue constant hue value equals constant perceived hue independent of values of lightness , chroma (which general ideal color appearance model, hard achieve). therefore well-suited gamut mapping implementations.

ictcp

itu-r bt.2100 includes color space called ictcp, improves original ipt exploring higher dynamic range , larger colour gamuts.

ciecam02

after success of ciecam97s, cie developed ciecam02 successor , published in 2002. performs better , simpler @ same time. apart rudimentary cielab model, ciecam02 comes closest internationally agreed upon “standard” (comprehensive) color appearance model.

icam06

icam06 image color appearance model. such, not treat each pixel of image independently, in context of complete image. allows incorporate spatial color appearance parameters contrast, makes well-suited hdr images. first step deal spatial appearance phenomena.
