Reflectance to Status A Density; How to convert?

AI Thread Summary
To convert spectral reflectance data (%R in 10nm increments) to Status A density, one must first ensure the data is accurately transformed into RGB format. This process involves using calibration data from reflectance standards to check the accuracy of reflection densitometers that measure Status A density in various color channels (V, R, G, B). The conversion is complex but can be achieved by referencing established methodologies, such as those outlined in relevant literature. Additionally, the transformation from spectral data to density requires careful consideration of the spectral response of the densitometers. Proper execution of these steps will ensure accurate density readings.

I have calibration data for some 0/45 reflectance standards which is in spectral format of %R in 10nm increments. I need to check the accuracy of reflection densitometers which read Status A density (V,R,G,B).
What is the proper way to convert the spectral reflectances to density?
Thanks,
GR

It doesn't look very compact, but it seems to be a well-posed problem:

(Page 393). You will also have to convert your spectral data into an (RGB) format, which is also not simple but well-posed.
