Notes
The Vos, Estévez and Walraven cone fundamentals are based on the following transformations
,
where ,
and
are the Stiles
& Burch (1955) color matching functions.
The functions given in energy units have been normalized in the ratio of L:M:S = 0.68:0.34:0.02 (see Vos, Estévez & Walraven, 1990, p. 942). The functions given in quantal units have been normalized to peak at 0.
The
functions tabulated in Table 1 of Vos, Estévez & Walraven (1990) were
"slightly smoothed to remove obvious data noise."
