چکیده

The luminous-efficiency functions for a centrally viewed 10 degrees field were measured by heterochromatic brightness matching for various retinal illuminance levels of a reference field at various adapting levels. The subject was always presented with a 45 degrees white adapting light except when the test field for brightness matching was substituted for the adapting field for 500 msec. In order to investigate the contributions of rods and cones to the brightness sensation, the luminous-efficiency curves obtained from two subjects were analyzed with the Ikeda-Shimozono formula. When the subject was presented with an adapting light above about 100 trolands (Td), the luminous-efficiency function became photopic at any luminance level of the test field; similarly, when the test field was at 100 Td, the luminous-efficiency function was photopic at any adapting level.

Mesopic Visual Performance of Cockpit’s Interior based on Artificial Neural Network

The ambient light of cockpit is usually under mesopic vision, and it’s mainly related to the cockpit’s interior. In this paper, a SB model is come up to simplify the relationship between the mesopic luminous efficiency and the different photometric and colorimetric variables in the cockpit. SelfOrganizing Map (SOM) network is demonstrated classifying and selecting samples. A Back-Propagation (B...

Into the twilight zone: the complexities of mesopic vision and luminous efficiency.

Of all the functions that define visual performance, the mesopic luminous efficiency function is probably the most complex and hardest to standardise or model. Complexities arise because of the substantial and often rapid visual changes that accompany the transition from scotopic to photopic vision. These are caused not only by the switch from rod to cone photoreceptors, but also by switches be...

A Color Appearance Model Applicable in Mesopic Vision

We propose a color vision model that can be used to predict color appearance in mesopic vision as well as photopic and scotopic vision. It is based on a two-stage model which consists of the cone and opponent stages and it assumes rod intrusion at the opponent stage. The model has the following features to describe the color appearance in mesopic vision. First, it includes a gradual and nonline...

Brightness description using different metrics

In 1924 CIE defined the V(λ) function to describe the “relative visibility”. It was soon realised that this was not a right description for brightness. During the seven decades that passed by, several attempts were made to describe brightness for monochromatic, less saturated and near white lights. Among the near-white light descriptions the approach by Haubner [1] is the best-known. For monoch...

A proposed uni ® ed system of photometry

A uni® ed system of photometry is proposed that is based on human vision and allows the speci® cation of visual stimuli at all light levels. To be useful, however, photometry can never be entirely synonymous with vision. Additivity is an essential characteristic of photometry, yet many visual responses, such as brightness matching, incorporate visual channels that are inherently non-additive in...
