Sun as a deity (god)
Almost all old religions worship a sun as a deity – to assure that it will come out next morning also.

Rhythm of light is rhythm of life
We don’t worship sun
anymore but we are still
dependent on its day-cycle.

Rhythm of light: morning
There is very few light in the morning but it increases with
the time.Colour of light changes from red to orange and to yellow.Diurnal organisms starts with
activities which grow together with the light.
We are sleepy in the morning and we are slowly starting
out activities.

Rhythm of light: day
Sun is high, there is plenty of bright white light
anywhere.Diurnal organisms are at
the peak of their abilities.
We are at the top of our abilities also and at the
middle of our working day (coincidence?).

Rhythm of light: evening
In the evening, the light turns red, and is slowly
decreasing.Diurnal animals are
getting less active and are preparing for the
resting part of the day.We are tired so we are
concluding our work and are also preparing
for the night.

Rhythm of light: night
At night the light is “dull and colorless”.
Organisms are, with exception of nocturnal
ones, resting.We are resting and
gathering strengths for the next day also.

Visible & invisible light
The sun's rays that spread among the trees, we see only because they are reflected by particles in the air mist.
Otherwise they would remain invisible to our eyes.
Light allows us to use
one of the senses -
vision

Light is the main source of information
Light not only enables but also affects our perception of the environment.
We obtain over 80% of information
from the environment
through the vision.

Aperture, lens and film (CCD sensor) in a camera.

How do we see - retina
Retina contains foto-receptors that are sensitive to light.
Blind Spot
Macula with fovea (without choroid, which would reduce visual acuity)

Blind spot
Close your left eye and watch an apple with your right eye. Bring the image closer and suddenly orange will
disappears. Its image is located in the blind spot.(diameter 2 cm, distance between 12 cm)

How do we see - receptors
Foto-receptors in the eye convert incident light into pulses that nerves lead to the brain.

Cones and Rods
Cones
• There are 4.500.000 cones in average eye.
• They are less sensitive to light.• They distinguish colors.• They are arranged mostly in
fovea and macula.• They contribute to vision in well
lit environment – photopic vision.

Cones and Rods
Rods
• There are 90.000.000 rods in average eye.
• They are more sensitive to light • They can’t distinguish colors.• They are placed mostly outside
macula.• They contribute to vision in
dark environment- scotopic vision.

Cones and Rods
In rods there is a pigment rhodopsin, which consists of two parts: opsin and retinal. Under the influence of light, the retinal moves and allows chemical substances to break into the opsin which causes the nerve cells to begin to emit action currents.
Rhodopsin is red but bleaches under the influence of light.

... looks in the middle of the night like this.
A black spot in the middle is due to the fact that there is no rods in fovea and therefore this area can not be seen at night.

60° in, 60° up.

Visual acuity
Vision 6/6 (20/20):gap is seen from distance of 6 m
the size of the gap is so, that from the distance of 6 m
represent 1 arc minute.
Visual acuity is a measure of the spatial resolution; ability to see a gap in a
broken ring.

Visual acuity
Maximum visual acuity is in centre of the field of vision because of the densely packed cones in the fovea.
Visual acuity deteriorates with age.

Eye adaptation
Eye adaptation is the ability of the eye to adjust to various levels of darkness and light
![Page 30: Visual Effects of - eap.grip2013.eap.gr/pdf/SI_Bizjak_Visual_efects_of_light_1.pdf · Rhythm of light: morning ...

Eye adaptation
A minor mechanism of adaptation is the pupullary light reflex, adjusting the amount of light that reaches the retina.
Changes in the sensitivity of rods and cones in the eye are the major contributors to dark adaptation.
The eye takes approximately 20– 30 minutes to fully adapt from bright sunlight to complete darkness.

Eye accommodation
Accommodation is the ability of the eye to focus objects lying at different distances.

Eye accommodation
The amplitude of accommodation is
influenced by the luminance level to
which the eye is adapted.
The amplitude of accommodation
declines with age.

Depth perception
Depth perception is the ability to see the world in three dimensions and to perceive distance.
Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues:
•binocular cues that require input from both eyes and
•monocular cues that require the input from just one eye.
Binocular cues:•stereopsis,
•convergence,•shadow stereopsis.

Depth perception
Monocular cues provide depth information when
viewing a scene with one eye (or on picture):
•motion parallax,•perspective,•familiar size,
•aerial perspective,•accommodation,•peripheral vision,•texture gradient,
•lighting and shading.

Depth perception
But the monocular
cues are not always
reliable –optical
illusions.

Optical aberrationOptical aberration is an imperfection in image
formation by an optical system
Spherical aberration, which occurs when light
rays strike a lens or mirror near its edge
Chromatic aberration, caused by differences in
refractive index for different wavelengths of
light

• difference in brightness• difference in color
• shape• movements or motion
• distanceBut only if there is enough light. Better the lighting
conditions better the performance of the eye.

Perception
What we see (perceive) is not always the same as what our eyes see.
Perception is the process of attaining awareness or
understanding of sensory information. What one perceives is a result of interplays between past
experiences, including one’s culture, and the interpretation of
the perceived.

Perceptual constancy
There are several types of perceptual constancies in Visual perception:
shape constancy, size constancy,
color constancy,lightness constancy, distance constancy, location constancy.
Color constancy means perceiving a color as "constant under changing conditions of illumination" and is the
achievement of a very complicated "calculation" by an unconsciously working apparatus within our central
nervous system.

Light helps at work
Good light(ing) can bring greater productivity, quality and safety.

But not always …
In some cases light might be disturbing.

Disturbing effects of light – glare
Glare is caused by a significant ratio of luminance between the task or surrounding and the glare source.
Glare can be divided into two types:
• discomfort glare,• disability glare.
Discomfort glare results in an instinctive desire to look away from a bright light source or difficulty in seeing a task. Disability glare renders the task
impossible to view, such as when driving westward at sunset.

Disturbing effects of light – glare
Glare is caused by the inter-reflection of light within the eyeball, reducing the contrast between task and glare source to the point where the task cannot be distinguished. Glare can be so intense that vision is completely impaired.

Disturbing effects of light – reflected glare
Reflected glare causes the same kind of disturbance as direct glare - reduces the contrasts needed for trouble-free vision.

Disturbing effects of light – shadows
Light and shadow are vital to ensure that objects, surfaces and structures are clearly identifiable - shadows make it easier to detect 3D objects. However, within deep shadows with hard
edges everything becomes unrecognizable; even potentially dangerous optical illusions can occur

Disturbing effects of light – double light
Double-light is when we place two spatially separated sources with
different colors of light in a room. In such case the appearance of
the object and the shadow depends on the current position and orientation of the object in
space so eyes need to adapt and accommodate to each position.Double light can causes fatigue,
burning eyes and headaches.

Disturbing effects of light – flashing light
If the intensity of the light is not constant, but light is flashing, it can cause similar
problems as a double light. In addition, there might be a stroboscopic effect,
which prevents the correct perception
of moving or rotating objects.

I hope you remembered:
• More than 80 % of information from the environment come through the vision!
• No light no vision!• Four minimum requirements need to be
met to permit perception: minimum luminance, contrast, size and time!
• Good lighting can help, bad lighting might be disturbing!
