Question 5, August 2013, Part 2

part1, part 2


Solution 1:

a) If the color matching functions $ f_k(\lambda) $ has negative values, it will result in negative values in $ F_k $. In this case, the color can not be reproduced by this device.

b) The CIE color matching functions are not always positive. $ r_0(\lambda) $ takes negative values. This is the case because, to match some reference color that is too saturated, colors have to be subtracted from the $ R, G, $ and $ B $ primaries. This results in negative values in tristimulus values r, g, and b. So the color matching functions at the corresponding wavelength have negative values.

c) $ \left $ $ \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} F_1\\ F_2\\ F_3 \end{array}} \right] = {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \int_{-\infty}^{infty} \end{array}} \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} r_0(\lambda)\\ g_0(\lambda)\\ b_0(\lambda) \end{array}} \right] $
