It has been shown by Andrew Crumey [2] that for unconstrained vision (that is, observers could either look directly at the target or avert their gaze) an accurate empirical formula for R is = (/ +) where c 1, c 2 are constants taking different values for scotopic and photopic vision.
One may explain human vision by noting that light from the outside world forms an image on the retinas in the eyes and something (or someone) in the brain looks at these images as if they are images on a movie screen (this theory of vision is sometimes termed the theory of the Cartesian theater: it is most associated, nowadays, with the ...
Emission theory or extramission theory (variants: extromission) or extromissionism is the proposal that visual perception is accomplished by eye beams emitted by the eyes. This theory has been replaced by intromission theory (or intromissionism ), which is that visual perception comes from something representative of the object (later ...
