Read an image of an eSFR chart into the workspace.
I = imread('eSFRTestImage.jpg');
Create an esfrChart object, then display the chart with ROI annotations. The 16 color patch ROIs are labeled with white numbers.
chart = esfrChart(I);
displayChart(chart,'displayEdgeROIs',false, ...
'displayGrayROIs',false,'displayRegistrationPoints',false)
Measure the color in all color patch ROIs.
colorTable = measureColor(chart)

Display the color accuracy measurements. Each square color patch is the measured color, and the thick surrounding border is the reference color for that ROI. Each color accuracy measurement is displayed as Delta_E, the Euclidean distance between measured and reference colors in the CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space. More accurate colors have a smaller Delta_E.

For an alternative representation of the color accuracy measurements, plot the measured and reference colors in the CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space on a chromaticity diagram. Red circles indicate the reference color. Green circles indicate the measured color of each color patch. The chromaticity diagram does not portray the brightness of color.

plotChromaticity(colorTable)
ROIs with a shorter distance between the reference and measurement points have smaller differences in chromaticity, which can contribute to a smaller value of Delta_E. However, brightness also contributes to the value of Delta_E. For example, even though the reference and measurement points for ROI 13 are near each other on the chromaticity diagram, they have a large Delta_E because of their large difference in brightness.
