Subject: Query on color-matching ellipses

Dear Hoover,

Please could you post this following query on CVNet.

Thanks

Wanted references on color-matching ellipses.

We are working on a non-linear model of photoreceptors which can explain
color-matching ellipses. We found that a very simple model of
photoreceptors as Michaelis-Menten kinetic law can explain mostly
non-linear Just Noticeable Differences.

We presented this model at ECVP'97 conference with the data of observer PGN
(MacAdam). See http://www-tirf.inpg.fr/~alleysson/ecvp97.html for details.

In order to extend our model with other data, we would like to find recent
references on measure of color-matching ellipses or ellipsoids. Particulary
we are interested in data measured in cone-excitation space (cf Y. LeGrand
and Nagy & all).

Here is the list of references we have already found.
