ciespec

The ciespec function contains various reference spectra provided by the Commission International d’Éclairage (CIE – International Commission on Illumination). The reference data is sourced from the CIE and permission to use the data in the Lighting Toolbox was granted. 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:

spec = ciespec(lam,'ref',Y,W)

Where:

ParameterDescription
specIs the return vector or matrix containing the reference spectrum/spectra.
lamIs a vector defining the wavelengths. For wavelength steps smaller than given in the reference, the function does a linear interpolation, as suggested by the CIE.
'ref'Defines the reference spectrum/spectra, see table below.
Y
(optional)
Defines the integral weighted target value derived from the spectral power distribution.
W
(optional)
Defines the weighting function for the integral target value (see above). Default: 'VL' for the V(\lambda) weighted photopic value.

For wavelength increments smaller than given in the reference, the function does a linear interpolation, as suggested by the CIE. It is also possible to assign multiple references in one function call by using a cell array:

spec = ciespec(lambda,{'ref1','ref2',...,'refx'})

Note: the spectra are returned row wise as a n \times m matrix, with n spectra and m wavelength steps.
