  2. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Eye examination for visual acuity. Visual acuity is a measure of the spatial resolution of the visual processing system. VA, as it is sometimes referred to by optical professionals, is tested by requiring the person whose vision is being tested to identify so-called optotypes – stylized letters, Landolt rings, pediatric symbols, symbols for the illiterate, standardized Cyrillic letters in ...

  3. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance. Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device. It is approximately spherical in shape, with its outer ...

  4. Optical resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_resolution

    The human brain requires more than just a line pair to understand what the eye is imaging. Johnson's criteria defines the number of line pairs of ocular resolution, or sensor resolution, needed to recognize or identify an item.

  5. Photoreceptor cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoreceptor_cell

    Each human retina has approximately 6 million cones and 120 million rods. [8] At the "center" of the retina (the point directly behind the lens) lies the fovea (or fovea centralis), which contains only cone cells; and is the region capable of producing the highest visual acuity or highest resolution. Across the rest of the retina, rods and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_display

    The pixels are visible at normal viewing distance. Retina display is a branded series of LCDs and OLED displays by Apple Inc. that have a higher pixel density than traditional displays. [ 1 ] Apple has registered the term "Retina" as a trademark with regard to computers and mobile devices with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and ...

  7. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

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

    Contrast (vision) Six renditions of a rocky shore photo with incremental contrast levels, clockwise from bottom left. Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object (or its representation in an image or display) visible against a background of different luminance or color. The human visual system is more sensitive to ...

  8. Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye

    For a human eye with excellent acuity, the maximum theoretical resolution is 50 CPD [43] (1.2 arcminute per line pair, or a 0.35 mm line pair, at 1 m). A rat can resolve only about 1 to 2 CPD. [ 44 ] A horse has higher acuity through most of the visual field of its eyes than a human has, but does not match the high acuity of the human eye's ...

  9. Photopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopic_vision

    The 1931 CIE photopic luminosity function. The horizontal axis is wavelength in nm. Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions (luminance levels from 10 to 10 8 cd/m 2). In humans and many other animals, photopic vision allows color perception, mediated by cone cells, and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal ...
