Abstract

In this paper, two types of weighting tables are derived by applying the local power expansion method proposed by Oleari [Color Res. Appl. 25, 176 (2000)]. Both tables at two different levels consider the deconvolution of the spectrophotometric data for monochromator triangular transmittance. The first one, named zero-order weighting table, is similar to weighting table 5 of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) used with the measured spectral reflectance factors (SRFs) corrected by the Stearns and Stearns formula. The second one, named second-order weighting table, is similar to weighting table 6 of ASTM and must be used with the undeconvoluted SRFs. It is hoped that the results of this paper will aid the International Commission on Illumination TC 1-71 on tristimulus integration in focusing on ongoing methods, testing, and recommendations.
