valor tristímulo
- It is indeed fortunate for designers of imaging systems that one can largely specify a color using just three numbers, called the tristimulus values.
- tristimulus values
Examples
-
Here Xs, Ys, and Zs are the tristimulus values or weights required to match the original spectral distribution S(λ).
Academic text (1992) -
Thus, two different copy colors C1 (lambda) and Csub2 (lambda) may yield the same tristimulus values under one illuminant but not under another.
Academic text (1992) -
Nonetheless, the tristimulus model is a powerful one that lends itself well to analysis by the standard tools of linear algebra.
Academic text (1992) -
Fortunately, Kuehni defers the detailed model descriptions until after he has defined tristimulus values.
Academic text (2003) -
Given any three primaries defined by their spectral power distributions and subject to the above-mentioned conditions, there is a corresponding set of sensor response functions that yield tristimulus values.
Academic text (1992) -
In color science, the tristimulus values define how a color appears based on three numerical measurements.
-
Designers often rely on tristimulus values to accurately represent colors in digital imaging.
-
The concept of tristimulus helps scientists quantify colors using three defined parameters.

Etymology
Tristimulus comes from tri- meaning 'three' and stimulus meaning a 'push' or signal. A tristimulus is a set of three numbers that together define a color for measurement or reproduction.
