Since <math>{{f}_{k}}(\lambda ),\ for\ k=0,\ 1,\ 2</math>$ are the spectral response functions for the three color outputs of a color camera, and the negative spectrum can’t be produced, they must be nonnegative.
 
  
b) The CIE color matching functions are not always positive. This is the case because, to match some reference color that is too saturated, colors have to be subtracted from the <span class="texhtml">''R'',''G'',</span> and <span class="texhtml">''B''</span> primaries. This results in negative values in tristimulus values r, g, and b. So the color matching functions at the corresponding wavelength have negative values.

ECE Ph.D. Qualifying Exam

Communication Networks Signal and Image processing (CS)

Question 5, August 2013(Published on May 2017)

Problem 1,2


Solution 1:

a)

Since $ {{f}_{k}}(\lambda ),\ for\ k=0,\ 1,\ 2 $ are the spectral response functions for the three color outputs of a color camera, and the negative spectrum can’t be produced, they must be nonnegative.

b)

Since $ {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ),\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ),\ and\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) $ are the CIE color matching functions, they can be both positive and negative. The color matching function are given by

$ \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{0}}(\lambda )={{r}^{+}}-{{r}^{-}} \\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda )={{g}^{+}}-{{g}^{-}} \\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda )=={{b}^{+}}-{{b}^{-}} \\ \end{matrix} \right. $

where $ {{r}^{+}},\ {{r}^{-}},\ {{g}^{+}},\ {{g}^{-}},\ {{b}^{+}},\ {{b}^{-}} $are the response to photons and must be positive, while the color matching function can be negative to produce a saturated color.


c)

$ \begin{align} & F=\left[ \begin{matrix} {{F}_{1}} \\ {{F}_{2}} \\ {{F}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left[ \begin{matrix} {{f}_{1}}(\lambda ) \\ {{f}_{2}}(\lambda ) \\ {{f}_{3}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right]}\ I(\lambda )\ d\lambda =\int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left( M\left[ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right] \right)}\ I(\lambda )\ d\lambda=M\left( \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left[ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right]}\ I(\lambda )\ d\lambda \right)=M\left[ \begin{matrix} r \\ g \\ b \\ \end{matrix} \right]\ \\ & \Rightarrow\ \left[ \begin{matrix} r \\ g \\ b \\ \end{matrix} \right]={{M}^{-1}}\left[ \begin{matrix} {{F}_{1}} \\ {{F}_{2}} \\ {{F}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]={{M}^{-1}}_{{}}^{{}}{{F}^{t}} \\ \end{align} $

d)

Yes, they do exist, like CIE XYZ. CIE XYZ is defined in terms of CIE RGB so that $ \left[ \begin{matrix} {{x}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{y}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{z}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right]=M\ \left[ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right],\ where\ M=\left[ \begin{matrix} 0.490 & 0.310 & 0.200 \\ 0.177 & 0.813 & 0.010 \\ 0.000 & 0.010 & 0.990 \\ \end{matrix} \right] $ and $ \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{x}_{0}}(\lambda )\ge 0 \\ {{y}_{0}}(\lambda )\ge 0 \\ {{z}_{0}}(\lambda )\ge 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right. $


Solution 2:

a)

Because for real pixels, measured energy from incident photons is always positive.

The student should mention the non-negativity inherence of the spectrum.

b) $ {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ),\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ),\ and\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) $are the CIE color matching functions, and therefore can be negative. They go negative to match certain reference colors which are beyond the r, g, b primaries.

The student should mention the saturated colors, which need negative color matching function .

c)

$ \begin{align} & \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left[ \begin{matrix} {{f}_{1}}(\lambda ) \\ {{f}_{2}}(\lambda ) \\ {{f}_{3}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right]}\left[ \begin{matrix} I(\lambda )d\lambda & I(\lambda )d\lambda & I(\lambda )d\lambda \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{M\left[ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{g}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ {{b}_{0}}(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right]}\left[ \begin{matrix} I(\lambda )d\lambda & I(\lambda )d\lambda & I(\lambda )d\lambda \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & \Rightarrow \left[ \begin{matrix} \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{f}_{1}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{f}_{2}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{f}_{3}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \end{matrix} \right]=M\left[ \begin{matrix} \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{r}_{0}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{g}_{0}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \int\limits_{-\infty }^{\infty }{{{b}_{0}}(\lambda )I(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \end{matrix} \right]\Rightarrow \left[ \begin{matrix} {{F}_{1}} \\ {{F}_{2}} \\ {{F}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]=M\left[ \begin{matrix} r \\ g \\ b \\ \end{matrix} \right]\Rightarrow \left[ \begin{matrix} r \\ g \\ b \\ \end{matrix} \right]={{M}^{-1}}\left[ \begin{matrix} {{F}_{1}} \\ {{F}_{2}} \\ {{F}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ \end{align} $

d)

$ \begin{align} \left[ \begin{matrix} r \\ g \\ b \\ \end{matrix} \right]={{M}^{-1}}\left[ \begin{matrix} {X} \\ {Y} \\ {Z} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ \end{align} $ where X, Y, Z are the xyz tristimulus values (always positive): $ X=\frac{x}{x+y+z},Y=\frac{y}{x+y+z},Z=\frac{z}{x+y+z} $

The three written formulas for tristimulus values are not correct, actually chromaticity ccordinates can be written as a function of tristimulus values (X, Y, Z) as follows: $ x=\frac{X}{X+Y+Z},y=\frac{Y}{X+Y+Z},z=\frac{Z}{X+Y+Z} $.

Also, the student should describe the CIE XYZ system.

In a color matching experiment, the three primaries R, G, B are used to match the color of a pure spectral component at wavelength $ \lambda $. (Assume that the color matching allows for color to be subtracted from the reference in the standard manner described in class.) At each wavelength $ \lambda $, the matching color is given by

$ \left[ \begin{matrix} R, & G, & B \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix} r(\lambda ) \\ g(\lambda ) \\ b(\lambda ) \\ \end{matrix} \right] $

where

$ \begin{align} & 1=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{r(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ & 1=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{g(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ & 1=\int\limits_{0}^{\infty }{b(\lambda )d\lambda } \\ \end{align} $

Further define the white point

$ W=\left[ \begin{matrix} R, & G, & B \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix} {{r}_{w}} \\ {{g}_{w}} \\ {{b}_{w}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] $.

Let $ I(\lambda) $ be the light reflected from a surface.

a) Calculate $ ({{r}_{e}}, {{g}_{e}}, {{b}_{e}}) $ the tristimulus values for the spectral distribution $ I(\lambda) $ using primaries R, G, B and an equal energy white point.

b) Calculate $ ({{r}_{c}}, {{g}_{c}}, {{b}_{c}}) $ the tristimulus values for the spectral distribution $ I(\lambda) $ using primaries R, G, B and white point $ ({{r}_{w}}, {{g}_{w}}, {{b}_{w}}) $.

c) Calculate $ ({{r}_{\gamma }}, {{g}_{\gamma }}, {{b}_{\gamma }}) $ the gamma corrected tristimulus values for the spectral distribution $ I(\lambda) $ using primaries R, G, B and white point $ ({{r}_{w}}, {{g}_{w}}, {{b}_{w}}) $, and $ \gamma =2.2 $.
