ciecri – frudawski

The ciecri function calculates the general colour rendering index $R_a$ , the special colour rendering indices $R_i$ and the chromaticity difference $\text{d}C$ for a given spectral power distribution (SPD). Any errors in the data set or in results generated with the Lighting Toolbox are not in the liability of the CIE nor me, see licence.

Usage:

[CRI,Ra] = ciecri(lam,spec,reference)

Where:

Parameter	Description
`CRI`	Is the extended return struct with the following fields: Ra: repesents the general colour rendering index, which is the mean value of the first 8 special colour rendering indices $R_1$ – $R_8$ . Ri: represents the 14 special colour rendering indices $R_i$ for the 14 reference test colours. illuminant: specifies the reference illuminant used for the calculation. default: Planck for $T_{cp}$ < 5000 K and daylight for $T_cp$ >= 5000 K. Tcp: gives the correlated colour temperature (CCT) $T_{cp}$ of the test illuminant. dC: represents the chromaticity difference. For meaningful result of $R_a$ , this value sould not exceed $5 \cdot 10^{−3}$ .
`Ra`	Returns the general colour rendering index field of the struct.
`lam`	Is a vector defining the wavelengths.
`spec`	Is a vector or matrix containing the spectral power distribution of the illuminant(s). For more than one spectrum use a row-wise data matrix.
`reference (optional)`	Allows to specify a certain standard illuminant, see ciespec. default: Planck for $T_{cp}$ < 5000 K and daylight for $T_{cp} \geq$ 5000 K.

Note: several spectra can be used as input, the output struct than contains for each field as many entries as input spectra.

The individual fields of the CRI struct can be accessed using the dot notation. To acces the Ri field of the struct:

Examples

Evaluate the colour rendering index for standard illuminant ‘FL4’:

lam = 360:5:830;
spec = ciespec(lam,'FL4');
[CRI,Ra] = ciecri(lam,spec)

Result:

CRI =

Evaluate the colour rendering index for standard illuminant ‘FL12’ and plot the special rendering indices:

lam = 380:780;

Evaluate the general colour rendering index $R_a$ for standard illuminant ‘LED-B5’:

lam = 380:780;
spec = ciespec(lam,'LED-B5');
[~,Ra] = ciecri(lam,spec)

Result:

Ra = 80

Evaluate the general colour rendering index $R_a$ for standard illuminant ‘LED-B5’ using standard illuminant ‘D65’ as reference light source:

lam = 380:780;
spec = ciespec(lam,'LED-B5');
[~,Ra] = ciecri(lam,spec,'D65')

Result:

Ra = 79
