A computational structure for color perception

The problem of constructing an artificial vision system which reflects the limitations and illusions, as well as the power, of human color perception is considered. Several major theories and models of color perception are reviewed and considered in terms of their ability to explain observed color phenomena and their ease of implementation in an artificial system. The opponent-colors model is used the as basis for an implementation of such a system, and the implementation is described briefly.
