Problem 22E Exercises 21 and 22 concern the way in which color is specified for display in computer graphics. A color on a computer screen is encoded by three numbers (R, G, B) that list the amounts of energy an electron gun must transmit to red, green, and blue phosphor dots on the computer screen. (A fourth number specifies the luminance or intensity of the color.) [M] The signal broadcast by commercial television describes each color by a vector (Y, I, Q). If the screen is black and white, only the Y -coordinate is used. (This gives a better monochrome picture than using CIE data for colors.) The correspondence between YIQ and a “standard” RGB color is given by (A screen manufacturer would change the matrix entries to work for its RGB screens.) Find the equation that converts the YIQ data transmitted by the television station to the RGB data needed for the television screen.

Question
Exercises 21 and 22 concern the way in which color is specified for display in computer graphics. A color on a computer screen is encoded by three numbers (R, G, B) that list the amounts of energy an electron gun must transmit to red, green, and blue phosphor dots on the computer screen. (A fourth number specifies the luminance or intensity of the color.)[M] The actual color a viewer sees on a screen is influenced by the specific type and amount of phosphors on the screen. So each computer screen manufacturer must convert between the (R, G, B) data and an international CIE standard for color, which uses three primary colors, called X, Y , and Z. A typical conversion for short-persistence phosphors is A computer program will send a stream of color information to the screen, using standard CIE data (X, Y, Z) Find the equation that converts these data to the (R, G, B) data needed for the screen’s electron gun.
Solution
The first step in solving 2.7 problem number 21 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Exercises 21 and 22 concern the way in which color is specified for display in computer graphics. A color on a computer screen is encoded by three numbers (R, G, B) that list the amounts of energy an electron gun must transmit to red, green, and blue phosphor dots on the computer screen. (A fourth number specifies the luminance or intensity of the color.)[M] The actual color a viewer sees on a screen is influenced by the specific type and amount of phosphors on the screen. So each computer screen manufacturer must convert between the (R, G, B) data and an international CIE standard for color, which uses three primary colors, called X, Y , and Z. A typical conversion for short-persistence phosphors is A computer program will send a stream of color information to the screen, using standard CIE data (X, Y, Z) Find the equation that converts these data to the (R, G, B) data needed for the screen’s electron gun.
