A spatio-temporal model of the human observer for use in display design
D. Bosman · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1989
A "quick look" visual model, a kind of standard observer in software, is being developed to estimate the appearance of new display designs before prototypes are built. It operates on images also stored in software. It is assumed that the majority of display design flaws and technology artefacts can be identified in representations of early visual processing, and insight obtained into very local to global (supra-threshold) brightness distributions. Cognitive aspects are not considered because it seems that poor acceptance of technology and design is only weakly coupled to image content.
