FACTOR ENGINEERING
Hue is one of the main properties of a color and can be defined as "the degree to
which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are
described as red, green, blue, and yellow".
PROPERTIES OF LIGHT
Amplitude
Amplitude perceived as brightness
Wavelength (nm) perceived as hue
Wavelength
PROPERTIES OF LIGHT
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It can be easily
represented on the visual spectrum. It has a
wavelength and amplitude.
Its wavelength is represented along the x axis and
expressed in nanometers.
The wavelength determines the hue (color
identification).
The amplitude is represented along the y axis and
it determent the brightness.
What is saturated and unsaturated light?
When wavelengths are not diluted by gray, like pure red, they are said
to be saturated. Diluted wavelengths, like pink, are of course unsaturated
PHYSICAL MEASURES OF LIGHT
Luminous Flux
source of energy like sun or head light of car (units is candela)
IL luminance
The amount of energy that strikes surface of object (unit is foot candle or lux)
Luminance
The amount of energy that is replected back from the surface of the object
(foot lambert)
Reflectance
Brightness

Types of color deficiences and color blindness (click to see what color blind see)
Protanomaly (1% of males) – low sensitivity to red (low λs)L--Cone
Deuteranomaly (6% of males) – low sensitivity to green (med λs shifted to red)M-
Cone
Protanopia (<1% of males) – see in shades of blue and yellow – neutral pt as grey
Deuteranopia (<1% of males) – see in shades of blue and yellow – neutral pt as
grey
Tritanomaly/Tritanopia (very rare in both sexes) – blue-yellow
deficiency/blindness(S-Cone)
Monochromacy (extremely rare) – inability to distinguish any colors
PHOTORECEPTORS
There are two types of photoreceptors in the human
retina, rods and cones.
Rods:
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels .They are not
sensitive to color vision. They are sensitive to dim light. (night
vision)
Cones:
Cones are active at higher light levels. Cones are capable of
color vision. Cones are sensitive to color(day light vision). The
central fovea has lots of cones.
COLOR VISION TRICHROMATIC THEORY
According to this theory, there are three receptors in
the retina that are responsible for the perception
مممسممممجھ of color.
One receptor is sensitive to the color GREEN, another
to the color BLUE, and a third to the color RED. The
combinations of these three colors produces all of the
colors that we are capable of perceiving.
PURKINJE SHIFT
Purkinje shift – This is also called
Purkinje Effect. As we switch from cone
to rod vision (day to night), shorter
wavelengths appear brighter (green
objects appear brighter, red objects
appear darker).

MONOCULAR DEPTH CUES
Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the distance of an object. Linear perspective is a
monocular cue that allows us to perceive the depth and distance of an object. A monocular
cue is any depth cue that can be processed by using one eye alone. This is in contrast
to binocular cues that require the use of both eyes to perceive distance and depth.
Relative Size
- if 2 objects are known to be similar size,
Linear Perspective the smaller one appears further away
Ames room illusion fools us into thinking that the distance is the
- converging parallel lines same to both people in the photo, therefore their size must be
different.
MONOCULAR DEPTH CUES
Cool Examples of
Monocular Depth Cues
Motion Parallax
- As perceiver moves, objects in foreground
appear to move by faster than objects in
background
BINOCULAR CUES
Binocular cues are the information taken in by our 2 eyes and then
processed by our brain in order for us to perceive depth or distance.
Convergence
- Eyes rotate inward as
object gets closer
Retinal Disparity
- Slightly different image to each
eye, brain combines them
