Characterizing the limits in low vision patients by exploring potential beneficial effects of visual noise. KU Leuven
Retinal damage impairs vision. However, it is not known whether the resulting vision loss is entirely caused by the degraded input, as retinal damage may also affect the efficiency with which observers perform visual tasks. In recent years, ideal observer theory has proven to be a valuable tool for studying vision. An ideal observer is a theoretical device that uses Bayesian statistical decision theory to perform its assigned task with optimal ...
