Objective and Description
This course is designed for undergraduate students interested in human vision. Students will be able to learn and understand the essential facts, concepts, principles of information perception of human vision and its applications. The course will focus on four main topics: Basic structures and functions of human visual system including visual optical system and neurophysiological system; visual perception and information processing including image recognition, stereo vision, color vision, visual motion perception, etc; visual examining and measuring technology/instruments; applications of visual perception and information processing, e.g., stereoscope, stereograms, stereo photos, stereo movies, color mixing and matching, flash cartoon, artificial vision, computer vision, robotics vision and visual bionics.
