Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance
are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria
needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in
accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or
www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see https://patents.iec.ch).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see

This document was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 28, Office equipment.

body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html and

AMENDMENT 1
Clause 2
Add the following two references in Clause 2:
ISO 13655, Graphic technology — Spectral measurement and colorimetric computation for graphic arts
images
IEC 61966 2-1, Multimedia systems and equipment — Colour measurement and management — Part 2-1:
Colour management — Default RGB colour space — sRGB
5.2.2
Replace the first paragraph as follows:
In order to determine the inner boundary, the maximum reflectance factor (R ) is determined by
max
averaging the R values measured in the area selected by the user as background area and the minimum
v
reflectance factor (R ) is determined by averaging the R values measured in the area selected by the
min v
user as image area, in which the visual reflectance R values can be obtained via OECF conversion of
v
the measured data in G channel as specified in 6.2.1. Then, from R and R , R is computed and the
max min 10
inner boundary edge is determined.
5.2.3
Replace b) as follows:
b) Measure the the visual reflectance R (x, y) wholly within the ROI.
v
Replace Y(x, y) in Fomula (1) to R (x, y)

5.2.4
Replace b) as follows:
b) Measure the the visual reflectance R (x, y) wholly within the ROI.
v
Replace Y(x, y) in Fomula (2) to R (x, y)

Replace b), c), g) and j) as follows:
b) Measure scanner outputs in terms of R (x, y), G (x, y) and B (x, y) of 360 000 (600×600) pixels,
S S S
evenly-spaced and non-overlapping elements within the ROI, respectively. Then, convert those
values in R (x, y), G (x, y) and B (x, y) to the linearized values in R (x, y), G (x, y) and B (x, y) as
S S S L L L
described in 6.2.3.
c) Convert the values in R (x, y), G (x, y) and B (x, y) to the values in CIE Y (x, y) by using Formula (3),
L L L
derived by converting the matrix in page 4 in “https:// www .color .org/ chardata/ rgb/ sRGB .pdf”,

Mottle scores calculated by using the method in this document do not show a good agreement
with subjective scores when test patches include noise with CIE Y values lower than the
colourimetrically measured CIE Y value for the solid patch in the confomance test chart. A clipping
procesure in Formula (6) to replace such low CIE Y values to the measured CIE Y value for the solid
patch noticeably improved this issue. Considering consistency throughout this document, not
only Formula (6) for mottle measurement, but also Formula (3) for graininess measurement and
Formula (11) for banding measurement, adopt the same formula with this clipping procedure.
