Calculates rgb values from spectra based on human color matching functions (CMF) or chromaticity coordinates (CC). A CMF takes into account luminous sensitivity, while a CC only the color hue. This function, in contrast to that in package pavo does not normalize the values to equal luminosity, so using a CMF as input gives the expected result. Another difference is that it allows the user to choose the chromaticity data to be used. The data used by default is different, and it corresponds to the whole range of CIE standard, rather than the reduced range 400 nm to 700 nm. The wavelength limits are not hard coded, so the function could be used to simulate vision in other organisms as long as pseudo CMF or CC data are available for the simulation.
Usage
s_e_irrad2rgb(
w.length,
s.e.irrad,
sens = photobiology::ciexyzCMF2.spct,
color.name = NULL,
check = TRUE
)Arguments
- w.length
numeric vector of wavelengths (nm).
- s.e.irrad
numeric vector of spectral irradiance values.
- sens
a chroma_spct object with variables w.length, x, y, and z, giving the CC or CMF definition (default is the proposed human CMF according to CIE 2006.).
- color.name
character string for naming the rgb color definition.
- check
logical indicating whether to check or not spectral data.
Value
A color defined using rgb. The numeric
values of the RGB components can be obtained using function
col2rgb.
Note
Very heavily modified from Chad Eliason's
cme16@zips.uakron.edu spec2rgb function in package Pavo.
