List of presentations: [[1]]

25.9. Exercise (Durikovic)

Lecture on Tone mapping.

2.10. Introduction, colors

Practically, calculate the (R,G,B) or (X,Y,Z) color channel values for a given spectral radiance <math>L(\lambda)</math>, where <math>\lambda</math> is the wave length. Radiance <math>L(\lambda)</math> is given in the discrete table form for 10 values of <math>\lambda</math>. Practice the color conversion from (X,Y,Z) to (R,G,B) and (L,a,b) color systems. Those color systems are the industry standards. Calculate the Lightness from a given color in three channels (R,G,B). Notes: [pdf] Additional Materials: Table of measured values for L, X,Y,Z [pdf]
