Converting a image matrix from RGB to XYZ color space

Hi,

I would like to convert RGB data in 24x3 to xyz, using makecform and applycform. But, I am getting the number out of range - not scaled right.

function [xyz2D]=convertsrgb2xyz(srgb) 
format3D = reshape(srgb,24,1,3); 
C=makecform('srgb2xyz'); 
xyz=applycform(format3D,C); 
xyz2D=reshape(xyz,24,3);

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Could you help me?

Thank you to whomever!

I don't get any errors when I try

srgb=rand(24,3);
xyz2D=convertsrgb2xyz(srgb);

% In range 0-1
srgb=rand(24,3);
[xyz2D]=convertsrgb2xyz(srgb) 

xyz2D = 24×3

0.2166 0.3875 0.1050 0.1330 0.1169 0.2647 0.2169 0.2089 0.5100 0.0206 0.0132 0.0559 0.3766 0.2759 0.0429 0.3256 0.4499 0.1962 0.2665 0.1453 0.0219 0.3679 0.2249 0.2715 0.2920 0.3793 0.0530 0.3256 0.5459 0.0745

% uint8 variables in range 0-255
srgbUint8 = uint8(255 * rand(24, 3));
[xyz2D8]=convertsrgb2xyz(srgbUint8) 

xyz2D8 = 24×3

16236 21925 9541 14108 18405 10245 3491 2639 12682 3828 2515 4063 15859 17125 5405 17960 16536 14349 6258 7821 8273 19041 17838 22050 1251 685 1280 14814 13690 3156

% Your function
function [xyz2D]=convertsrgb2xyz(srgb) 
format3D = reshape(srgb,24,1,3); 
C=makecform('srgb2xyz'); 
xyz=applycform(format3D,C); 
xyz2D=reshape(xyz,24,3);
end

There doesn't seem to be any error thrown but the values are not correct for uint8-ranged values.

Hi Youngsam,

Kindly share the data used as input for the function to help debug the issue. I didn't get any errors while using the function 'convertssrgb2xyz':

srgb=rand(24,3);
xyz2D=convertsrgb2xyz(srgb);

Please ensure that the input RGB values are correctly scaled and formatted. The 'makecform('srgb2xyz')' expects the RGB values to be in the range of [0, 1]. A possible cause for out of scale error could be RGB data is in the range [0, 255], and hence need normalization before applying the color transformation.

You can refer to the documentation of 'makecform' to know more about it by executing the following commmand in MATLAB Command window:
