Colorimetry — Part 1: CIE standard colorimetric observers

ISO/CIE 11664-1:2019(E)

 

This document was prepared by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in cooperation with Technical Committee ISO/TC 274, Light and lighting. This first edition of ISO/CIE 11664-1 cancels and replaces ISO 11664-1:2007 | CIE S 014-1:2006, of which it constitutes a minor revision.

The document has been editorially revised as per current ISO and CIE rules and the references have been updated. The document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching functions are specified:
— Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
— Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about 4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

The publication is written in English. It consists of 34 pages and is readily available from the CIE Webshop or from the National Committees of the CIE.
