Abstract

Conversion RGB to wavelength is not a simple problem. This contribution describes a simple method for wavelength extraction for colors given by the RGB triplet. The method is simple and accurate, based on known RGB values of the rainbow. It also respects different saturation of a color.

Footnotes
1
The RBG spectral values for iso-energetic white color are specified in Table 3 [7].
 
2
Details on projective geometric algebra use can be found in [1214] and intersection computation in [15].
 
3
A value (XY) in Euclidean space can be expressed as \([wx,wy:w]^T\) in the projective space & \(w \ne 0\); \(w=1\) is used in this case [13].
 
4
\(\xi =100\) means 100 sub-intervals on the x, resp. y axis.
