X and Y axis of CSF spatial modulation function
X-axis: Spatial frequency
Y-axis: contrast sensitivity
What spatial frequency are we able to detect the best?
around 5-7 cpd
Equivalent Snellen acuity of 30 cpd
20/20
equivalent Snellen of 60 cpd
20/10
What happens after 60 cpd?
Person can’t tell the cycles so it looks uniform no matter the illuminance
What kind of filter does human have for contrast sensitivity?
band pass
How to calculate sensitivity?
S = 1 / threshold contrast
What is steeper, high spatial falloff or low spatial falloff?
High spatial falloff
Low sensitivity in infants is due to
photoreceptor morphology
