CIELAB is described as incorporating a chromatic adaptation transform because

  • A.it includes an explicit model of the visual cortex
  • B.it requires the observer to adapt fully before any measurement
  • C.it applies only to samples viewed under D65
  • D.dividing by the white point approximates von Kries adaptation

Answer: D

Correct answer: dividing by the white point approximates von Kries adaptation

Each of X, Y and Z is divided by the corresponding value for the white before the cube root is taken, which scales the responses to the illumination. That is a crude von Kries transform performed in XYZ rather than in a cone space, and it is why CIELAB values are comparable across illuminants at all.
