cieXYZ2xyz

The cieXYZ2xyz function calculates the normalized CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates from standard CIE X,Y,Z tristimulus values. 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:

[xyz,x,y,z] = cieXYZ2xyz(XYZ)

Where:

Example:

Normalized tristimulus values:

XYZ = [685.9847 721.7317 785.84229];
xyz = cieXYZ2xyz(XYZ)

Result:

xyz =

   0.3127   0.3290   0.3582

Determine the whitepoint of CIE standard illuminant A using cone-fundamental tristimulus values for 2° standard observer:

lam = 380:780;
spec = ciespec(lam,'A');
XYZ = ciespec2unit(lam,spec,'xyz');
xyz = cieXYZ2xyz(XYZ)
plotciexy(xyz(1),xyz(2))

Result:

xyz =

   0.4475   0.4075   0.1450
