  2. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision)

    Contrast sensitivity is typically expressed as the reciprocal of the threshold contrast for detection of a given pattern (i.e., 1 ÷ contrast threshold). [15] Using the results of a contrast sensitivity exam, a contrast sensitivity curve can be plotted, with spatial frequency on the horizontal, and contrast threshold on the vertical axis.

  3. Lea test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea_test

    It is especially vital to assess a child's contrast sensitivity at a young age in order to determine the distance and accuracy with the child can distinguish facial features. A very popular test designed specifically for this reason is the "Hiding Heidi Low Contrast Face Pictures" test (which the LEA Vision Test System produces a version of.)

  4. Denis Pelli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Pelli

    Pelli is known for his contributions to the fields of visual sensitivity, letter identification, object recognition, the Psychtoolbox, [2] equivalent input noise, QUEST, [clarification needed] the Pelli–Zhang video attenuator, [clarification needed] and the Pelli–Robson Contrast Sensitivity Chart, which allows for clinical measurement of ...

  5. LogMAR chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LogMAR_chart

    The chart was designed by Ian Bailey [5] and Jan E. Lovie-Kitchin at the National Vision Research Institute of Australia. [1] [3] They described their motivation for designing the LogMAR chart as follows: "We have designed a series of near vision charts in which the typeface, size progression, size range, number of words per row and spacings were chosen in an endeavour to achieve a ...

  6. Snellen chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellen_chart

    A Snellen chart is an eye chart that can be used to measure visual acuity. Snellen charts are named after the Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen who developed the chart in 1862 as a measurement tool for the acuity formula developed by his professor Franciscus Cornelius Donders .

  7. Sloan letters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloan_letters

    Sloan letters, designed by Louise Sloan in 1959, are a set of optotypes used to test visual acuity generally used in Snellen charts and logMAR charts. This set of optotypes consists of ten specially formed "letters", C, D, H, K, N, O, R, S, V and Z. [ 1 ] These letters, unlike the ones used in older Snellen charts, are designed to give acuity ...

  8. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    Log-log plot of spatial contrast sensitivity functions for luminance and chromatic contrast [improve caption] The neurological conversion of color from LMS color space to the opponent process is believed to take place mostly in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus, though it may also take place in the retina bipolar cells.

  9. LMS color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_color_space

    LMS (long, medium, short), is a color space which represents the response of the three types of cones of the human eye, named for their responsivity (sensitivity) peaks at long, medium, and short wavelengths. The numerical range is generally not specified, except that the lower end is generally bounded by zero.
