    Area of Science:

    • Visual Perception
    • Color Science
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Brown and MacAdam's work established color discrimination ellipsoids using split fields.
    • Previous models did not account for spatiotemporal stimulus structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate color discrimination using flickering grating patterns.
    • To extend previous findings to spatiotemporally structured visual stimuli.
    • To analyze the impact of stimulus structure on color difference formulas.

    Main Methods:

    • Generated three-dimensional discrimination ellipsoids in color space.
    • Utilized flickering grating patterns instead of conventional split fields.
    • Applied an augmented Vos-Walraven line element with spatiotemporal frequency-dependent coefficients.

    Main Results:

    • Discrimination ellipsoids are influenced by the spatiotemporal structure of visual stimuli.
    • Results are compatible with Brown and MacAdam's findings for coarse gratings and slowly modulated fields.
    • Analytical descriptions based on the modified Vos-Walraven element fit the data well.

    Conclusions:

    • Color difference formulas require adjustment for stimuli with varying spatiotemporal structures.
    • The spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli are critical for accurate color perception modeling.
    • This research provides a foundation for more robust industrial and commercial color-difference calculations.
