Entry requirements |
Basic knowledge of geometrical optics and anatomy of the eye.
|
|
Learning outcomes |
Fundamental knowledge of physical aspects of vision including visual system optics, imaging and refractive correction. Acquire knowledge about light measurement and the principles of psychophysical measurement.
At the end of the course students should be able to:
- describe the schematic models of the eye,
- evaluate retinal image quality,
- characterize entopic phenomena,
- measure light using principles of radiometry or photometry,
- use psychophysical methods for visual characterization.
