The eye as a measurement
device
• We can model the low-level
behavior of the eye by thinking
of it as a light-measuring
machine
– its optics are much like a camera
– its detection mechanism is also
much like a camera
• Light is measured by the
[Greger et al. 1995]

photoreceptors in the retina


– they respond to visible light
– different types respond to different
wavelengths
