• In human visual perception, the eyes act as the sensor or camera, neurons act as
the connecting cable and the brain acts as the processor. The basic elements of
visual perceptions are:
•Structure of Eye
•Image Formation in the Eye
•Brightness Adaptation and Discrimination
Exposure
Image formation Detection Processing
Control
• It has a volume of about 6.5cc. The eye is just like a camera. The external object is
seen as the camera take the picture of any object.
• Light enters the eye through a small hole called the pupil, a black looking aperture
having the quality of contraction of eye when exposed to bright light and is
focused on the retina which is like a camera film.
• The lens, iris, and cornea are nourished by clear fluid, know as anterior chamber.
• The fluid flows from ciliary body to the pupil and is absorbed through the channels
in the angle of the anterior chamber.
• Cones in eye number between 6 to 7 million which are highly sensitive to colors.
Human visualizes the colored image in daylight due to these cones. The cone
vision is also called as photopic or bright-light vision.
• Rods in the eye are much larger between 75 to 150 million and are distributed
over the retinal surface.
• Rods are not involved in the color vision and are sensitive to low levels of
illumination.
• When the lens of the eye focus an image of the outside world onto a light-
sensitive membrane in the back of the eye, called retina the image is formed.
• The lens of the eye focuses light on the photoreceptive cells of the retina which
detects the photons of light and responds by producing neural impulses.
• The distance between the lens and the retina is about 17mm and the focal length
is approximately 14mm to 17mm.
• In this, individual sensors are arranged in the form of a 2-D array. This type of
arrangement is found in digital cameras. e.g. CCD array
• In this, the response of each sensor is proportional to the integral of the light
energy projected onto the surface of the sensor. Noise reduction is achieved by
letting the sensor integrate the input light signal over minutes or ever hours.
• Advantage: Since sensor array is 2D, a complete image can be obtained by focusing
the energy pattern onto the surface of the array.
• The sensor array is coincident with the focal plane, it produces an output
proportional to the integral of light received at each sensor.
• Digital and analog circuitry sweep these outputs and convert them to a video
signal which is then digitized by another section of the imaging system. The output
is a digital image.
