Maximum Entropy Models of Surace Reflectance Spectra

We investigate the use of a maximum entropy spectral model for surface spectra from photoreceptor measurements. We compare the accuracy of maximum entropy models againts those provided by the stand linear PCA-based models. We show that the maximum entropy models have similar performance to the linear models, even though they require no a priori information.
