5.3: Extending the Flicker Visibility Metric to a Range of Mean Luminance

Andrew B. Watson, Albert J. Ahumada

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

We previously proposed a flicker visibility metric for bright displays, based on psychophysical data collected at a high mean luminance. Here we extend the metric to other mean luminances. This extension relies on a linear relation between log sensitivity and critical fusion frequency, and a linear relation between critical fusion frequency and log retinal illuminance. Consistent with our previous metric, the extended flicker visibility metric is measured in just‐noticeable differences (JNDs).
