CIE color appearance model 2002

Definition

CIECAM02 is a color appearance model that provides a viewing condition specific method for transforming between tristimulus values and perceptual attribute correlates. This model was first published [1] in 2002 by Division 8 of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). CIECAM02 was developed for use in color management systems and was based on the previously published CIECAM97s color appearance model [2, 3]. The model provides a number of parameters for defining a viewing condition and also inverse equations for transforming perceptual attribute correlates back to tristimulus values for a given set of viewing conditions. In this way, CIECAM02 can be used to transform perceptual attribute correlates, such as lightness, chroma, and hue, across different viewing conditions.

Overview

A color appearance model [4, 5] transforms between colorimetry, which specifies if stimuli match, and perceptual attribute correlates, which are...
