deltaE_cmc

skimage.color.deltaE_cmc(lab1, lab2, kL=1, kC=1) [source]

Color difference from the CMC l:c standard.

This color difference was developed by the Colour Measurement Committee (CMC) of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (United Kingdom). It is intended for use in the textile industry.

The scale factors kL, kC set the weight given to differences in lightness and chroma relative to differences in hue. The usual values are kL=2, kC=1 for “acceptability” and kL=1, kC=1 for “imperceptibility”. Colors with dE > 1 are “different” for the given scale factors.

Parameters:	lab1 : array_like reference color (Lab colorspace) lab2 : array_like comparison color (Lab colorspace)
Returns:	dE : array_like distance between colors lab1 and lab2

Notes

deltaE_cmc the defines the scales for the lightness, hue, and chroma in terms of the first color. Consequently deltaE_cmc(lab1, lab2) != deltaE_cmc(lab2, lab1)
