Approaching the Abney effect within linear opponent-color vision

  • Chapter
Colour Vision Deficiencies X

Part of the book series: Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceedings Series ((DOPS,volume 54))

Abstract

By means of a visual colorimeter, the two chromaticity loci were determined on which the perceptual criteria ‘neither green nor red’ or ‘neither blue nor yellow’ hold for normal trichromatic observers. By partially linearising one of these loci and including the trace of the alychne, spectral opponent-color functions were derived that take some features of the Abney effect into account.
