Zcam, A Colour Appearance Model Based On A High Dynamic Range Uniform Colour Space

A colour appearance model based on a uniform colour space is proposed. The proposed colour appearance model, ZCAM, comprises of comparatively simple mathematical equations, and plausibly agrees with the psychophysical phenomenon of colour appearance perception. ZCAM consists of ten colour appearance attributes including brightness, lightness, colourfulness, chroma, hue angle, hue composition, saturation, vividness, blackness, and whiteness. Despite its relatively simpler mathematical structure, ZCAM performed at least similar to the CIE standard colour appearance model CIECAM02 and its revision, CAM16, in predicting a range of reliable experimental data.
