This could be due to the photoreceptors’ response to illumination, which is non-linear and varies according to the adaptation state. Assuming the Naka-Rushton nonlinear function and an automatic gain control function, we can derive color discrimination and chromatic adaptation data. We extend the discussion to a three layer model of retinal color processing, and show how we could predict corresponding color data.IVRGcolor discriminationchromatic adaptationNaka-Rushtonmodel of retinal color processingcorresponding color datatext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
