Darwinism of Color Image Difference Models

The world of color image difference modeling can be considered relatively young, when compared with the rich history of general color difference equations. While young, this area of research is well beyond the primordial soup stage. In this paper we present a framework for describing the evolution of color image difference models. This framework builds upon the S-CIELAB model, which in turn was built upon the CIELAB model and the CIE color difference equations. The goal is to create a modular, extendable color image difference model.
