HSV色彩空间应该做的把戏，看维基百科文章取决于你正在工作的语言，你可能会得到一个库转换。

H是色调，是颜色的数值(即红色，绿色…)

S是颜色的饱和度，即它有多“强烈”

V是颜色的亮度。

HSV的“V”可能就是你要找的。MATLAB有一个rgb2hsv函数，之前引用的维基百科文章充满了伪代码。如果RGB2HSV转换不可行，则较不准确的模型将是图像的灰度版本。

今天我用javascript解决了一个类似的任务。 我已经确定了这个getPerceivedLightness(rgb)函数的HEX rgb颜色。 利用Fairchild和Perrotta公式对Helmholtz-Kohlrausch效应进行了亮度校正。

下面是将sRGB图像转换为灰度的唯一正确算法，如在浏览器等中使用。

在计算内积之前，有必要对颜色空间应用伽玛函数的逆。然后你把函数应用到减少的值上。未能合并gamma函数可能导致高达20%的误差。

对于典型的计算机，颜色空间是sRGB。sRGB的正确数字约为。0.21 0.72 0.07。sRGB的Gamma是一个复合函数，近似取幂1/(2.2)。这是c++的全部内容。

// sRGB luminance(Y) values
const double rY = 0.212655;
const double gY = 0.715158;
const double bY = 0.072187;

// Inverse of sRGB "gamma" function. (approx 2.2)
double inv_gam_sRGB(int ic) {
    double c = ic/255.0;
    if ( c <= 0.04045 )
        return c/12.92;
    else 
        return pow(((c+0.055)/(1.055)),2.4);
}

// sRGB "gamma" function (approx 2.2)
int gam_sRGB(double v) {
    if(v<=0.0031308)
      v *= 12.92;
    else 
      v = 1.055*pow(v,1.0/2.4)-0.055;
    return int(v*255+0.5); // This is correct in C++. Other languages may not
                           // require +0.5
}

// GRAY VALUE ("brightness")
int gray(int r, int g, int b) {
    return gam_sRGB(
            rY*inv_gam_sRGB(r) +
            gY*inv_gam_sRGB(g) +
            bY*inv_gam_sRGB(b)
    );
}

为了用R确定颜色的亮度，我将RGB系统颜色转换为HSV系统颜色。

在我的脚本中，我之前因为其他原因使用了HEX系统代码，但你也可以从rgb2hsv {grDevices}的RGB系统代码开始。文档在这里。

这是我的代码的这一部分:

 sample <- c("#010101", "#303030", "#A6A4A4", "#020202", "#010100")
 hsvc <-rgb2hsv(col2rgb(sample)) # convert HEX to HSV
 value <- as.data.frame(hsvc) # create data.frame
 value <- value[3,] # extract the information of brightness
 order(value) # ordrer the color by brightness

我认为你正在寻找的是RGB ->流光转换公式。

光度/数字ITU BT.709:

Y = 0.2126 R + 0.7152 G + 0.0722 B

数字ITU BT.601(给予R和B部分更多权重):

Y = 0.299 R + 0.587 G + 0.114 B

如果你愿意用准确性来换取性能，有两个近似公式:

Y = 0.33 R + 0.5 G + 0.16 B

Y = 0.375 R + 0.5 G + 0.125 B

这些可以快速计算为

Y = (R+R+B+G+G+G)/6

Y = (R+R+R+B+G+G+G+G)>>3
