Notes
The CIE (2012) 2-deg
“physiologically-relevant” , , and 
chromaticity
coordinates are related to the CIE (2012) 2-deg 
, 
and 
CMFs by:
The 
, 
and 
CMFs are linear
transformations of the cone fundamentals according to:
where 
, 
and 
are the Stockman & Sharpe
(2000) or CIE (2006) 2-deg cone fundamentals tabulated here.
The proposed CIE standard is also concerned about defining the precision of the CMFs. Thus, the coefficients of the transformation are defined to 8 decimal places (as in the equations above), the CMFs themselves are calculated from the cone fundamentals given in linear (energy) units to 9 sf (given here), and the results in linear (energy) units are tabulated to 7 significant figures. Finally, the chromaticity coordinates are defined to 5 dp.
The functions are provided here at 0.1, 1 and 5 nm steps.
Please note that these are proposals that have yet to be ratified by the full TC 1-36 committee or the CIE.
