Human Vision Nov 15.2012 Wu Pei
Cone and Rod Vision: • In a sense, each of us has two visual systems; the photopic system functions in lighted conditions; the scoptopic system functions in dim light • Cones mediate photopic vision; rods mediate scotopic vision; this is called the duplexity theory of vision
Spatial resolution • 4.5 million cone cells and 90 million rod cells in the human retina in average. • High resolution in middle and low resolution in edge, highest at fovea, about 1.2'. • Field of view: best resolution horizontal 35°and vertical 20° • In all: 1750*1000 in best resolution zone. About 5-15 megapixel whole field
Qualitative representation of visual detail using a single glance of the eyes.
Time resolution • Persistence of vision: an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on retina. • Fps: frames per second • The mechanism of film system.
Why game need better fps than movie • Movie: 24fps TV: 25fps • Game: 59/60fps
Answer Real video Game
Sensitivity to light • Human eye can is self-adaptive to differed light intensity by adjusting rhodopsin concentration.
Evolutionary perspective • Our vision is optimized for receiving the most abundant spectral radiance our star emits.
Color Depth • True color :8*3=24 bits • HDR: 32*3=96 bits • HDR use float but not fixed point number for luminance ranges from 10-4 to 108 . In practice 10bit to encode luminance and 8bit for hue is enough for eliminating quantization error.
Hints for video coding • Human eye is less sensitive to chrominance signal than to luminance signal (U and V can be coarsely coded) • Human eye is less sensitive to the higher spatial frequency components • Human eye is less sensitive to quantizing distortion at high luminance levels
Estimating bandwidth of eye • Input:24bit*10Mpixel*24fps=720MB/s • Output: ~100kB/s • Compare: H.264,1080p:1.5MB/s
How the visual information encoded • The process of neuron development is a process of “training”.
Encoding and illusion • Illusion means visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. • Generally visual encoding is a lossy coding. So look at the illusion will be helpful to know the encoding process.
