Quantifying observer metamerism of LED spectra which chromatically mimic natural daylight

When LEDs are used to mimic daylight, a side-by-side comparison of the chromaticity difference between the LED spectrum and natural daylight will be perceived differently by individual observers. The magnitude of this effect depends on the LED light's spectral power distribution and can be assessed by using individual observer functions. To minimize the computational effort, an observer metamerism index can be utilized. Here, we compare three methods from the literature to define an observer metamerism index by carrying out a correlation analysis, in which reference spectra of the whole daylight range (1600 K to 88000 K) are used together with an empirical study. The recommended metric is based on a principal component analysis of 1000 individual observers' color matching functions to define a deviate observer. Using the proposed metamerism index significantly simplifies the calculation of the observer metamerism evaluation. Thus, this metric can be applied in spectral optimization pipelines, which are embedded in smart and adaptive multi-primary LED luminaires.
