New equations accurately model cone sensitivity values, crucial for understanding color vision in normal and dichromatic observers. These smooth, differentiable equations improve models of chromatic discrimination for equal luminance spectra.

Area of Science:

Color Vision Science
Visual Perception

Background:

Cone sensitivity values are fundamental to understanding human color perception.
Existing models rely on color matching functions and spectral sensitivities of various observers.
Accurate mathematical representations are needed for advanced visual models.

Purpose of the Study:

To derive precise mathematical equations for cone sensitivity values.
To ensure these equations fit established data within a narrow margin of error.
To calculate derivatives of cone sensitivities for applications in chromatic discrimination models.

Main Methods:

Derived equations based on Smith and Pokorny's cone sensitivity data.
Utilized Judd's modified color matching functions and observer spectral sensitivities.
