spec2Munsell: Convert reflectance spectra to closest Munsell chip

In aqp: Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology

Convert reflectance spectra to closest Munsell chip

Description

Convert reflectance spectra to closest Munsell chip

Usage

spec2Munsell(
  x,
  res = 10,
  convert = TRUE,
  SO = c("CIE1931", "CIE1964"),
  illuminant = c("D65", "F2"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	reflectance spectra, must range from 380nm to 730nm with resolution specified in res
res	spectra resolution in nm, typically 5nm or 10nm
convert	logical, convert sRGB coordinates to closest Munsell chip (see ?munsell)
SO	CIE standard observer: these are the color matching functions defined by CIE and used to represent "average" human color perception. CIE1931 is the 2 degree standard observer more useful for describing color perception over very small areas or at distance. CIE1964 is the 10 degree standard observer, used for most industrial color matching applications.
illuminant	CIE standard illuminants: D65 represents average daylight F2 represents typical fluorescent lighting
...	further arguments to col2Munsell()

Details

See the expanded tutorial for additional examples.

Value

output from col2Munsell()
