Abstract

A modeling approach combining the entropy method and color difference formula is proposed in order to quantitatively evaluate diamond scintillation. The images of 66 diamonds were captured from 0° to 105° rotation at 15° intervals. The color difference of corresponding pixels in adjacent rotation angle images was calculated using a MatLab r2014a program, which indicated the diamond’s color change due to its scintillation. A threshold (10) was determined to divide the color difference into seven color difference intervals, the percentage of which indicated the color-change area. The color difference and the percentage were comprehensively analyzed using the entropy method to evaluate diamond scintillation objectively and quantitatively. Lightness was the main factor affecting the diamond scintillation while chroma and hue also significantly affected it.
