There are certain realms within which the math for vision is way easier (stationary target with grayscale contrast in daylight conditions with no clutter and a narrow search field), but the math for colour contrast of a moving target in a cluttered, foggy scene with partial sky illumination in the mesotopic spectrum with a wide search field is not all that more simpler than smell.
