16、ribes how tomeasure the spectral power distributions and reduce them toCIE tristimulus values. Practice E1455 describes how tomeasure the CIE tristimulus values of the primaries directly.An exact characterization of the VDU would require measure-ment of the spectral power distribution at all possibl

17、e combi-nations of primary settings. Modern, computer-controlledVDUs will provide 256 or more levels of each of the threeprimaries. This results in more than 16 777 000 uniquesettings, which is far too many combinations to be measuredpractically (see Note 1). Instead, a characteristic functionrelati

18、ng the radiant output of the screen to the digital inputsfrom the computer must be derived. Procedures are outlined forderiving a characteristic function for a computer-controlledVDU, using a minimum number of spectral radiometric mea-surements while maintaining near optimum accuracy. Ex-amples of d

19、eriving and testing such models are given inAppendix X1.NOTE 1Different primary settings do not necessarily produce percep-tibly different colors. For VDUs with a large number (for example,16 777 000) of different primary settings, the number of perceptiblydifferent colors will be less than the numb

20、er of primary settings.5. Significance and Use5.1 The color displayed on a VDU is an important aspect ofthe reproduction of colored images. The VDU is often used asthe design, edit, and approval medium. Images are placed intothe computer by some sort of capture device, such as a cameraor scanner, mo

21、dified by the computer operator, and sent on toa printer or color separation generator, or even to a paintdispenser or textile dyer. The color of the final product is tohave some well-defined relationship to the original. The mostcommon medium for establishing the relationship betweeninput, edit, an

22、d output color (device-independent color space)is the CIE tristimulus space. This guide identifies the proce-dures for deriving a model that relates the digital computersettings of a VDU to the CIE tristimulus values of the coloredlight emitted by the primaries.6. Models6.1 The models are based on e

23、ight basic assumptions. First,at each pixel location on the VDU, the radiant exitance(emitted light per unit area) attributable to one primary type(red, green, or blue) is invariant with the radiant exitances ofthe other primary types. Second, the radiance exitance at onespatial location is invarian

24、t with the radiant exitance at otherspatial locations. Third, the relative spectral radiant exitance ofa primary is invariant with excitation level. Fourth, there is nointer-reflection of light between pixel locations. Fifth, theoutput of the digital-to-analog conversion process is linear.Sixth, the

25、re is no ambient glare (flare) from the screen into theobservers eyes. Seventh, the refresh rate of the image is rapidenough to produce temporal fusion (no noticeable flicker) forthe normal observer. Eighth, the pixel pitch is fine enough toproduce spatial fusion for the normal observer. Each of the

26、eight basic assumptions should be tested and either verified,noted, or corrected before deriving a characteristic model.6.1.1 Assumption 1, independence of the primaries, is testedby measuring the radiometric output at several levels, asdescribed by Cowan and Rowell.3If the departures are small,they

27、 may be neglected or a LUT correction applied. If thedepartures are significant and maximum reproduction accuracyis required, only a full table look-up method can be used tocreate the RGB to XYZ transform.6.1.2 Assumption 2, spatial invariance, can be tested bymeasuring the center of a dark display

28、and then repeating themeasurements with pixels near the edge of the display illumi-nated fully. The display may have to be considered unusablefor critical applications if this assumption is not met. Theamount of spectral variance will be a function of both positionand intensity of both the area of i

29、nterest and the integrated areaof pollution. While such models can be derived, they may betoo complex to justify their use.6.1.3 Assumption 3, level invariance, is tested by measuringthe chromaticity of a primary at several different levels. Itshould be noted that care must be taken to maintain the

30、signalto noise value of the color measuring instrument as theluminance of the primary is reduced. As the signal level of acolorimeter approaches the optical/electrical zero, the apparentchromaticity approaches that of neutral black.6.1.4 Assumption 4, absence of inter-reflections, is oftenviolated o

31、n CRT-type displays without high efficiency antire-flection (HEA) coatings on the face plate gloss.This is detectedin the same manner as spatial invariance. Again, models forthis can be derived, but the complexity may not be worth theeffort.6.1.5 Assumption 5, linearity of the DAC, can be tested wit

32、ha calibrated, high-precision oscilloscope. A doubling of thedigital counts should produce a doubling of the output signal.It should be noted that RS-170 voltage levels are from 0.286V to +0.714 V with the range from 0 V to 0.714 V being usedfor signal level and 0 V to 0.286 V being used for synchro

33、-nization during the blanking interval on a CRT-type display.Other types of visual display units may have their own uniquevoltage ranges as well. In general, the setting of the drivevoltage requires the simultaneous alignment of many opera-tional parameters, the specification of which are beyond the

34、scope of this guide. It is assumed that the signal generator andthe receiver are adjusted to be within their unique operationalspecifications before the linearity test is performed.6.1.6 Assumption 6, ambient glare, can be tested with atelephotometer, measuring the luminance and chroma of eachprimar

35、y in a dark and ambient environment. If the two readings3Cowan, W. B., and Rowell, N., “On the Gun Independence and PhosphorConstancy of Colour Video Monitors,” Color Research and Application, Vol 11,1986, pp. S35S38.E1682 08 (2018)2differ by an unacceptable amount, either the display must beoutfitt

36、ed with light shields or its operation restricted to a darkenvironment.6.1.7 Assumption 7, flicker rate, is a function of the displayelectronics and display type. Chromatic flicker ceases atfrequencies above 30 Hz. Brightness flicker ceases for mostpeople above 60 Hz, although some people continue t

37、oexperience the sensation of flicker up to 70 Hz. Most moderngraphics displays operate at refresh rates above 60 Hz. Broad-cast displays may operate at rates as low as 30 Hz. Low-ratedisplay electronics interfaced to a high-rate display may resultin an unacceptable appearance.6.1.8 Assumption 8, pix

38、el density, is a characteristic of thedisplay and a function of the application.Alow-density displaymay be adequate for displaying solid patches of color but notfor detailed drawings or renderings.6.2 Examples of using the LUT method are also given inthis guide for completeness. There are three poss

39、ible ap-proaches to modeling the relationship between the digitalcounts and the VDU tristimulus values. The first requires theuser to adjust the video gain and offset manually such that theblack level and the offset cancel each other.The second methodtries to approximate the gain and offset by trial

40、 and error. Thethird method, the one used most commonly commercially,ignores the physical origins of the signals and collects mea-surements of the VDU output at a large number of points,sampling each primary channel between the minimum andmaximum counts. The unmeasured data values are determinedby i

41、nterpolation, and a LUT is formed such that all possiblecombinations of primary settings can be found in the table. Therecommended procedure in this guide conforms most closely tothe second method, using statistical methods to determine theoptimum parametric values for the gain, offset, and gamma of

42、each primary while requiring the smallest number of calibra-tion patches.This, then, linearizes the output of the system, anda linear transformation is applied to convert the linear RGBprimary values to CIE tristimulus values.6.3 The model parameters for the red primary are related tothe operational

43、 variables as follows:M,r5 M,r,maxFkg,rSdr2N2 1D1ko,rG(1)where:M,r= the spectral exitance of the (r)ed primary,M,r,max= the maximum spectral exitance of the (r)edprimary,dr= the digital setting of the (r)ed primary,2N 1 = the number of digital states generated by thedisplay driver,kg,r= the system (

44、g)ain coefficient for the (r)ed primary,ko,r= the system (o)ffset coefficient for the (r)edprimary, and = the system gamma coefficient.Similar expressions can be derived for the green and blueprimaries.6.3.1 Following the procedures given in Test MethodE1336, the spectroradiometer will measure the s

45、pectral radi-ance (L) of an extended diffuse source, such as a VDU. Thespectral radiance is related to the spectral exitance as follows:L5M(2)6.3.2 The radiance for each primary can be described asfollows:L,r5 RL,r,max, L,g5 GL,g,max, L,b5 BL,b,maxThe scalars R, G, and B can be thought of as the dis

From Test Method E1336, we obtain therelationship between the measured spectral radiance and theCIE tristimulus values, in luminance units as follows:Xr5 683 *360830L,rxd 5 683R *360830L,r,maxxd (3)Yr5 683 *360830L,ryd 5 683R *360830L,r,maxydZr5 683 *360830L,rzd 5 683R *36083
