  2. Mesopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopic_vision

    Mesopic vision, sometimes also called twilight vision, is a combination of photopic and scotopic vision under low-light (but not necessarily dark) conditions. [1] Mesopic levels range approximately from 0.01 to 3.0 cd/m 2 in luminance. Most nighttime outdoor and street lighting conditions are in the mesopic range. [2]

  3. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Theories and observations of visual perception have been the main source of inspiration for computer vision (also called machine vision, or computational vision). Special hardware structures and software algorithms provide machines with the capability to interpret the images coming from a camera or a sensor.

  4. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    Mesopic vision occurs in intermediate lighting conditions (luminance level 10 −3 to 10 0.5 cd/m 2) [citation needed] and is effectively a combination of scotopic and photopic vision. This gives inaccurate visual acuity and color discrimination. In normal light (luminance level 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2), the vision of cone cells dominates and is ...

  5. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    Photopic vision is characteristic of the eye's response at luminance levels over three candela per square metre. Scotopic vision occurs below 2 × 10 −5 cd/m 2. Mesopic vision occurs between these limits and is not well characterised for spectral response. [2] [1]

  6. Visual communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_communication

    Visual communication is the use of visual elements to convey ideas and information which include (but are not limited to) signs, typography, drawing, graphic design, illustration, industrial design, advertising, animation, and electronic resources. [1] This style of communication relies on the way one's brain perceives the outside images.

  7. Human communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_communication

    Human communication can be defined as any Shared Symbolic Interaction. [6]Shared, because each communication process also requires a system of signification (the Code) as its necessary condition, and if the encoding is not known to all those who are involved in the communication process, there is no understanding and therefore fails the same notification.

  8. Luminous efficiency function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

    Luminosity for mesopic vision, a wide transitioning band between scotopic and phototic vision, is more poorly standardized. The consensus is that this luminous efficiency can be written as a weighted average of scotopic and mesopic luminosities, but different organizations provide different weighting factors.

  9. Metapragmatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metapragmatics

    Example: "This is an example sentence." The anthropologist Aomar Boum uses a related concept of "ethnometapragmatics" to explain the Moroccan concept of showing the "plastic eye" ( 'ayn mika ), which refers to the practice of ignoring something while pretending it is not there.
