The '''difference''' or '''distance''' between two colors is a [[metric (mathematics)|metric]] of interest in [[color science]]. It allows people to quantify a notion that would otherwise be described with adjectives, to the detriment of anyone whose work is color critical. Common definitions make use of the [[Euclidean distance]] in a [[device independent]] [[color space]].
The [[Dallas Mavericks]] are an American professional [[basketball]] team based in [[Dallas]], [[Texas]]. They are members of the [[Southwest Division (NBA)|Southwest Division]] of the [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] in the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA). The Mavericks began playing in the NBA as an [[expansion team]] in the [[1980–81 NBA season|1980–81 season]]. In their inaugural season, they posted a win-loss record of 15–67.


==Delta E==
From 1983 to 1990, the Mavericks, led by key players including [[Mark Aguirre]], [[Brad Davis (basketball)|Brad Davis]] and [[Rolando Blackman]], made the postseason six out of seven times, appearing in the Conference Finals in [[1988 NBA Playoffs|1988]]. In 1990, the Mavericks reached the playoffs for the only time in the 1990s, for the rest of the decade they bottomed out with an 11–71 record in the [[1992–93 NBA season|1992–93 season]] and a 13–69 mark in the [[1993–94 NBA season|1993–94 season]].
The [[International Commission on Illumination]] (CIE) calls their distance metric Δ''E''<sup>*</sup><sub>''ab''</sub> (also called Δ''E*'', dE*, dE, or "Delta E") where [[delta (letter)|delta]] is a [[Greek letter]] often used to denote difference, and '''E''' stands for ''Empfindung''; German for "sensation". Use of this term can be traced back to the influential [[Hermann von Helmholtz]] and [[Ewald Hering]].<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=DrduOSrOFegC&pg=PA188&lpg=PA188&dq=(grundempfindung%7Cempfindung)+helmholtz+color&source=web&ots=g_T3sFQ7eG&sig=4HBhygBAc3zW-XfGVPlaykl72bA</ref><ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=OoESifAi9ZsC&pg=PA278&lpg=PA278&dq=empfindung+color&source=web&ots=-z6JbcN54V&sig=-Bww3AcNWpnDQp1Lu7yqGBFyUOw</ref>


Different studies have proposed different  Δ''E'' values that have a [[JND]] (just noticeable difference). Unempirically, a value of '1.0' is often mentioned, but in a recent study, Mahy et al. (1994) assessed a JND of 2.3  Δ''E''. However, perceptual non-uniformities in the underlying [[CIELAB]] color space prevent this and have led to the CIE's refining their definition over the years, leading to the superior (as recommended by the CIE) 1994 and 2000 formulas.<ref>Real World Color Management, Second Edition (Bruce Fraser)</ref> These non-uniformities are important because [[Color vision#Physiology of color perception|the human eye is more sensitive to certain colors than others]]. A good metric should take this into account in order for the notion of a "[[just noticeable difference]]" to have meaning. Otherwise, a certain Δ''E'' that may be insignificant between two colors that the eye is insensitive to may be conspicuous in another part of the spectrum.<ref>[http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/evaluation/cie_de/index.htm Evaluation of the CIE Color Difference Formulas]{{dead link|date=April 2009}}</ref>
The Mavericks returned to prominence in the 2000s. Leading by the trio of [[Dirk Nowitzki]], [[Michael Finley]] and [[Steve Nash]], they returned to the playoffs in [[2001 NBA Playoffs|2001]] and to the Conference Finals in [[2003 NBA Playoffs|2003]]. With Nash and Finley left in 2004 and 2005 respectively, Nowitzki emerged as the team's leader, leading the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance in [[2006 NBA Finals|2006]], only to lose to the [[Miami Heat]]. After a series of early exits from the playoffs, the Mavericks returned to the NBA Finals again in [[2011 NBA Finals|2011]] and won their first NBA Championship.
The values L, a, and b (like used in the equations below) are usually double precision values scaled between (-1,1). When a Lab image is saved, L is used as an unsigned 8bit integer, and a and b as signed 8bit integers, in order to keep the image normal in file size.


===CIE76===
The Mavericks have played 33 seasons, and advanced to the playoffs in 19 of those seasons. They have won three division titles, have been conference champions two times and have won one NBA Championship. Their overall record is 1388 wins and 1337 losses.
The 1976 formula is the first color-difference formula that related a measured to a known Lab value. This formula has been succeeded by the 1994 and 2000 formulas because the Lab space turned out to be not as perceptually uniform as intended, especially in the saturated regions. This means that this formula rates these colors too highly as opposed to other colors.

===CMC l:c (1984)===
In 1984, the Colour Measurement Committee of the [[Society of Dyers and Colourists]] defined a difference measure, also based on the L*C*h color model. Named after the developing committee, their metric is called '''CMC l:c'''. The [[quasimetric]] has two parameters: lightness (l) and chroma (c), allowing the users to weight the difference based on the ratio of l:c that is deemed appropriate for the application. Commonly used values are 2:1<ref>Meaning that the lightness contributes ''half'' as much to the difference (or, identically, is allowed ''twice'' the tolerance) as the chroma</ref> for acceptability and 1:1 for the threshold of imperceptibility.
 
The distance of a color <math>(L^*_2,C^*_2,h_2)</math> to a reference <math>(L^*_1,C^*_1,h_1)</math> is:<ref>{{cite web|author=Bruce Justin Lindbloom |url=http://www.brucelindbloom.com/Eqn_DeltaE_CMC.html |title=Delta E (CMC) |publisher=Brucelindbloom.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-16}}</ref>
 
:<math>\Delta E^*_{CMC} = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{L^*_2-L^*_1}{l S_L} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{C^*_2-C^*_1}{c S_C} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\Delta H^*_{ab}}{S_H} \right)^2 }</math>

CMC l:c is designed to be used with [[CIE Standard Illuminant D65|D65]] and the [[CIE 1931 color space#CIE standard observer|CIE Supplementary Observer]].<ref>[http://www.hunterlab.com/appnotes/an10_96ar.pdf CMC<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
 
==Tolerance==
[[Image:CIExy1931 MacAdam.png|250px|right|thumb|A MacAdam diagram in the [[CIE 1931 color space]]]]
 
'''Tolerancing''' concerns the question "What is a set of colors that are imperceptibly/acceptably close to a given reference?" If the distance measure is perceptually uniform, then the answer is simply "the set of points whose distance to the reference is less than the just-noticeable-difference (JND) threshold." This requires a perceptually uniform metric in order for the threshold to be constant throughout the [[gamut]] (range of colors). Otherwise, the threshold will be a function of the reference color—useless as an objective, practical guide.
 
In the [[CIE 1931 color space]], for example, the tolerance contours are defined by the [[MacAdam ellipse]], which holds L* ([[lightness (color)|lightness]]) fixed. As can be observed on the diagram on the right, the [[ellipse]]s denoting the tolerance contours vary in size. It is partly due to this non-uniformity that lead to the creation of [[CIELUV]] and [[CIELAB]].
 
More generally, if the lightness is allowed to vary, then we find the tolerance set to be [[ellipsoid]]al. Increasing the weighting factor in the aforementioned distance expressions has the effect of increasing the size of the ellipsoid along the respective axis.<ref>http://www.xrite.com/documents/literature/en/L10-024_Color_Tolerance_en.pdf</ref>

Revision as of 03:31, 17 August 2014

The Dallas Mavericks are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks began playing in the NBA as an expansion team in the 1980–81 season. In their inaugural season, they posted a win-loss record of 15–67.

From 1983 to 1990, the Mavericks, led by key players including Mark Aguirre, Brad Davis and Rolando Blackman, made the postseason six out of seven times, appearing in the Conference Finals in 1988. In 1990, the Mavericks reached the playoffs for the only time in the 1990s, for the rest of the decade they bottomed out with an 11–71 record in the 1992–93 season and a 13–69 mark in the 1993–94 season.

The Mavericks returned to prominence in the 2000s. Leading by the trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and Steve Nash, they returned to the playoffs in 2001 and to the Conference Finals in 2003. With Nash and Finley left in 2004 and 2005 respectively, Nowitzki emerged as the team's leader, leading the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2006, only to lose to the Miami Heat. After a series of early exits from the playoffs, the Mavericks returned to the NBA Finals again in 2011 and won their first NBA Championship.

The Mavericks have played 33 seasons, and advanced to the playoffs in 19 of those seasons. They have won three division titles, have been conference champions two times and have won one NBA Championship. Their overall record is 1388 wins and 1337 losses.
