Color Vision in Animals
• most mammals (dogs, cats, horses): dichromats• old world primates (including us): trichromats• marine mammals: monochromats• bees: trichromats (but lack “L” cone; ultraviolet
instead)• some birds, reptiles & amphibians: tetrachromats!

Color vision doesn’t work at low light levels!

Two Regimes of Light Sensitivity
• Photopic: cones active, rods “saturated”
• Sunlight and bright indoor lighting
• Scotopic: rod vision, too dim to stimulate cones
• Moonlight and extremely dim indoor lighting

Benham’s top:
motion-induced color perception
• not well-understood; believed to arise from different color-opponent retinal ganglion cells having different temporal latencies.
• the flickering pattern stimulates the different color channels differently (although this is admittedly a crude theory)

• trichromacy: 3-dimensional color vision (vs. hyper-spectral cameras!)• metamers• color-matching experiment• color space (RGB, HSB)• non-spectral hues• opponent channels, negatives & after-images• color-opponent channels• surface reflectance functions• color constancy• photopic / scotopic light levels• additive / subtractive color mixing• color blindness
Summary: color vision

Depth Perception: figuring out how far away things are
Problem: fundamental ambiguity between size and distance.

… or small pizza, close by?
• Retinal signal is the same in both cases• Have to use a variety of “cues” to decide distance to things

Study: People Far Away From You Not Actually Smaller
PRINCETON, NJ—According to a groundbreaking new study published Thursday in The Journal Of Natural And Applied Sciences, people who are far away from you are actually not, as once thought, physically smaller than you.The five-year study, conducted by researchers at Princeton University, has shattered traditionally accepted theories that people standing some distance away from you are very small, and people close-by are very big.

• moon subtends same visual angle at horizon as at zenith (0.52 deg = a thumb’s width an arm’s length)• if sky overhead perceived as being closer than sky at horizon, you’d infer that the moon overhead must be smaller
Moon illusion: moon looks bigger at horizon than at its zenith
One explanation:

Motivating questions:
1. Why do we have two eyes?
2. How does the brain combine information from the two eyes to get a percept of depth?
3. How can information from just one eye provide a percept of depth?

Why have two eyes?1. Binocular summation: pool twice as much light. – (Eye chart is easier to read with both eyes than with one, for example)
190 deg total
110 deg binocular
2. Increase field of view (prey, more than predators)
360 deg vision!22

“This explains why it is so hard to sneak up on a rabbit.”

2. Increase field of view (prey, more than predators)
3. Depth perception: can tell how far away things are by comparing the images captured by two eyes

• Monocular depth cue: cue that is available even when the world is viewed with one eye alone
Surprisingly, you can get a lot of info about depth from a single eye!
But first…

Monocular Cues to Three-Dimensional Space
Occlusion: one object obstructs the view of part of another object
• cue to relative depth order • non-metrical depth cue - provides order information
only, no measure of distance in depth26

Monocular Cues to Three-Dimensional Space
Occlusion: one object obstructs the view of part of another object
could be accidental view of this more likely scene

Relative Size
Metrical depth cue: A depth cue that provides quantitative information about distance in the third dimension
If all beads are all the same size, then a bead twice as small is twice as far away

Linear perspective
• parallel lines converge if moving away in depth• this is due to perspective projection

renaissance art
• parallel lines in a single depth plane remain parallel • other parallel lines converge as they recede in distance

impossible figures: rely on rules of linear perspective (provide local information about depth that is globally inconsistent)

same idea: use rules of linear perspective to create images that look 3D only from a particular vantage point (i.e., an “accidental” one)

far
• Lens needs more accommodation to focus nearby objects• Blur: cue that an object is in a different depth plane
