3、hing functions and illuminant spectral power distributionshave since 1931 been defined by the CIE, but the CIE has eschewed the role of preparing tables oftristimulus weighting factors for the convenient calculation of tristimulus values. There havesubsequently appeared numerous compilations of tris
4、timulus weighting factors in the literature withdisparity of data resulting from, for example, different selections of wavelength intervals and methodsof truncating abbreviated wavelength ranges. In 1970, Foster et al. (1)2 proposed conventions tostandardize these two features, and Stearns (2) publi
5、shed a more complete set of tables. Stearns workand later publications such as the 1985 revision of E308 have greatly reduced the substantial variationsin methods for tristimulus computation that existed several decades ago.The disparities among earlier tables were largely caused by the introduction
6、 of computations basedon 20-nm wavelength intervals. With the increasing precision of modern instruments, there is alikelihood of a need for tables for narrower wavelength intervals. Stearns tables, based on a 10-nminterval, did not allow the derivation of consistent tables with wavelength intervals
7、 less than 10 nm.The 1-nm table must be designated the basic table if others with greater wavelength intervals are tohave the same white point, and this was the reason for the 1985 revision of E308, resulting in tablesthat are included in the present revision as Tables 5.The 1994 revision was made i
8、n order to introduce to the user a method of reducing the dependenceof the computed tristimulus values on the bandpass of the measuring instrument, using methods thatare detailed in this practice.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides the values and practical computation procedures needed to obtain CIE

10、ver and X10, Y10, Z10 and x10. y10 for the CIE 1964supplementary standard observer.1.3 Standard values are included for the spectral power of six CIE standard illuminants and three CIE recommended fluorescentilluminants.1.4 Procedures are included for cases in which data are available only in more l
11、imited wavelength ranges than thoserecommended, or for a measurement interval wider than that recommended by the CIE. This practice is applicable to spectral dataobtained in accordance with Practice E1164 with 1-, 5-, 10-, or 20-nm measurement interval.1.5 Procedures are included for cases in which
12、the spectral data are, and those in which they are not, corrected for bandpassdependence. For the uncorrected cases, it is assumed that the spectral bandpass of the instrument used to obtain the data wasapproximately equal to the measurement interval and was triangular in shape. These choices are be
13、lieved to correspond to the mostwidely used industrial practice.1 This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E12 on Color and Appearance and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E12.04 on Color andAppearance Analysis.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2013April 1, 2015.
