CIELAB is a nonlinear transformation of RGB where the Euclidean distance between two colors is equal to their perceptual distances (for distances less than ~10 units). Algorithms that process color images often produce better results in CIELAB.

The equations implemented here come from Charles Poynton's Colour FAQ.

Is there a guide on how to use this?

hah ye

找了好久终于找到了LAB代码

how exactly to use this file (to check if it works with some pic), sry for the question, but I am new in this and I need color space segmentation with Lab color space

Hyunsung

This file is actually sRGB to Lab? sorry i am confused

Tim Zaman

This assumes an sRGB color profile, most certianly not always the case.

Thank You!

Tim Zaman

you can only successfully convert if you know what color profile [RGB] is used. I guess you took sRGB?

Abe Lau

I guess "makecform" is the native command Uwe was referencing to

Mark Ruzon

What native MATLAB implementation? I see lab2double but not the reverse.

Uwe

I don't see the advantage over the native Matlab implementation.

To make it nicer, you should make the whitepoint and the colorspace selectable. (now it is D65 and sRGB).
