人眼視覺特性

1、 Light enters the retina on the side containing the optic nerves and travels through all the layer before reaching the receptors. Retina This animated cartoon illustrates how light (white dot) enters the retina on the side containing the optic nerves and travels through all of the retinal layers bef

2、ore finally being absorbed by the photopigments in the outer segments of the receptors. A neural signal (yellow dot) is generated in the receptors which then travels through the neurons of the various retinal layers and finally travels out through the optic nerve up to the lateral geniculate nucleus

3、. When looking at an object that is far away the lens is kind of skinny. What happens when looking at a nearby object? When looking at nearby objects the lens gets fatter, causing the image of the object to be focused on to the retina in the fovea. What would happen if the lens did not get fatter ?

4、By the way, the technical term for this change in lens shape is accommodation. We frequently call it focusing. If the lens can not properly focus light on the retina, the image will fall either behind or in front of the retina. Can you guess what would happen if the lens is too fat? If you guessed t

5、hat when the lens is too fat that light is focussed in front of the retina, you were right. Is there a remedy for lens problems that do not allow light to be properly focused on the retina? Sure. Many people wear contact lenses to help image light properly on to the retina. Another solution is for a

6、 person to wear glasses. This places a lens in front of the eye not on the cornea as is the case with contact lenses. A recent solution is to use a laser to reshape the cornea. this solution is possible only in some cases. There are two kinds of astigmatism: 1. lenticular and 2. corneal. Astigmatism

7、 occurs when the surface of the cornea or of the lens is not perfectly smooth. If, for example, there is a small flat spot on your cornea the image in a certain direction on your retina will not be in perfect focus. If the figure on the right was constructed with all the radial lines of equal sharpn

8、ess and contrast a person without astigmatism would see all these radial lines as perfectly sharp and with the same contrast. The diagram on the right has been fudged to illustrate how it might appear to a person with astigmatism. This condition can be corrected with a corneal contact lens or cylind

9、er lens in a pair of spectacles. A very thin plastic lens, often flexible (soft lenses) floats on a layer of tears on the corneal surface of the eye. These lenses can be of the permanent variety or disposable. The permanent variety need to be properly cleaned and cared for. The disposable are often

10、worn continuously and the thrown away when removed. Note how the bottom edge of the lens is against the lower eye lid. If the wearer looks down, the lens is pushed up a little. This trick can be used to provide bifocal contact lenses. These lenses have different powers in the center than in the peri

11、phery. When the wearer looks down to read the lens is moved to a new position to facilitate seeing sharply at normal reading distances. If there is an irregularity on the cornea (astigmatism) it is automatically corrected by the combination of the tear layer and the contact lens. A cylinder lens is

12、different than a spherical lens which is what one normally sees in spectacles. Although a cylindrical component my be built in to that which appears spherical. As can be seen in the left diagram a cylinder lens has power only in one axis. In the left it is the horizontal axis. This lens does not ref

13、ract light in the vertical direction. When you first enter an extremely bright environment, for example, when emerging from a dark movies house into a very bright sunlit area the man carving the duck would appear like this. But in less than a minute he will appear as seen below. In the left photo th

14、e contrast is very low. Below the contrast is normal. When light adapted a scene might look like this. For approximately the first 10 minutes in the dark, the cones require less light to reach a threshold response than do the rods. Thereafter, the rods require less light. The point at which the rods

15、 become more sensitive is called the rod-cone break. p.18 The following demonstration is an example of how the worldappears to a person with a severe type of color blindness, deuteranopia. See how you would do in a color blind world Which meat is the most thoroughly cooked? Which meat is the most th

17、so that color blind people (and everyone else) can see what you are presenting. In its most severe forms, color blindness is caused by the absence of one of the cone visual pigments. Shown here, the spectral sensitivities of the cone pigments in color normal trichromats are compared with those of a

18、color blind person. Also compare the spectrum as it appears to a color normal person with the illustration of how it might look to a red-green color blind person. The difficulties with certain colors can be illustrated on a color wheel. For a severely red-green color blind person there are only two

19、hues, the ones a color normal person sees as yellow and blue. Intermediate colors, the ones seen as blueish- green and magenta, appear gray. Clear graphics are very important and often the source of the most difficulty; here are two examples showing the difference between good and bad use of color.

20、The Trick is to keep brightness differences large and to avoid color combinations that do not contrast well. A comparison of the two color wheels shows which color combinations would be difficult to see. Graphics cause the most problems, but the colors can be economically illustrated as text example

21、s, below. The right-hand column illustrates how the left hand column might look to a color blind person. Some examples of color combinations that are easily seen by a color blind person are shown below. These are illustrated as text examples but these principles are most important to keep in mind wh

22、en preparing drawings, graphs, and figures. cone 狗是色盲？ Mach bands Take two pieces of paper and place their edges as close as possible to both sides of one red diagonal. Note that the red square in the middle is the same as all the other squares on that diagonal. Now move your pieces of paper to expo

23、se mainly the red squares on the other diagonal. On this diagonal all the red squares, including the center one, are again the same color red. Because the center square is common to both diagonals this exercise proves that all the red squares in both diagonals are exactly the same red color. Yet, wh

24、en the pattern is seen as a whole, the two red diagonals appear different from each other Which line is longer, the red one or the green one? Use a ruler to find out. You will probably be surprised. Look at the upper right figure.This experiment works better if you close one eye. Fixate on the black

25、 dot in the center for about 10 - 15 seconds. Pay close attention to what you see. Now do the same thing with the upper left figure. Did you notice any difference? In the accompanying explanation I tell you what most people see and the reason for it. This is called a Kanizsa figure after the person

26、who invented it. If you look carefully you will probably see the edges of the entire triangle, even though the triangle is defined only by the notches in the red disks. Which is longer, the red line or the blue line? Use a ruler to find out the answer. Select the answer to double check on your resul

27、t. The round dots are all exactly the same color gray. I merely created the one on the extreme right and then copied it to each of the darker rectangles. Clearly, the lightness of the background effects the way in which we perceive the center gray dot. This effect is called simultaneous contrast. Ag

28、ain, as can be seen in other demonstrations, the perception of this kind of display is a result of lateral interactions. The circular area in each quadrant in the left figure is exactly the same color. The different appearance is due to the surround and the lateral interactions that occur. On the ri

29、ght I merely changed the background colors so that they are all identical. You can now see that the circular areas are, indeed, identical. This phenomenon is called simultaneous color contrast. What do you see in this diagram? In order to find out what people often say they see select possible perce
