Optimal bases for convex color mixture

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Partitive color mixing is the process by which the human eye integrates different neighboring colors to result in a single uniform surface. This process is convex: The perceived color is the weighted average of a small set of basis colors, and given that the weights represent the relative area of each color, they must sum to one. We present an efficient algorithm that generates a small number of new, natural bases such that a large set of spectra can be adequately expressed as a convex combination of these bases. Our results show that 9–11 bases are sufficient to represent a set of 1269 Munsell surfaces within the convex model.
