PhysLight Explorer: sensibilidade espectral de câmera

Ferramenta PhysLight interativa: coloque espectros blackbody, LED, HMI ou laser em curvas R/G/B reais, compare dois sensores e veja metamerismo. Combina com CIE 1931, Display Check, e aulas. Spectral curves from the open PhysLight project — thanks to Wētā (Wētā Digital / Wētā FX), Apache-2.0.

PhysLight Explorer

Lightsaber data

Drop a spectrum on a real camera's measured R/G/B sensitivities. Same light, different sensors — that's metamerism.

What a standard observer would report as the colour of this SPD — cameras rarely match this exactly.

Nested squares like PhysLight's chart: outer = base response, inset = compare. Same patch / same light — colour shifts are metamerism (or camera vs CIE).

Least-squares 3×3 from Camera A RGB → target on the 24 ColorChecker patches under the current illuminant. Per-patch Δ shows where a linear map fails; the optional .cube adds an IDW residual so on-chart colours land closer than matrix alone. Educational — not a lab camera profile.

Chart order

Heatmap = relative error % on each ColorChecker patch (darker / redder = larger linear-fit miss).
