Brightness perception under photopic conditions-experiments and modeling with contributions of S-cone and ipRGC

Links

Summary

This study examines how ipRGC and S-cone signals contribute to human brightness perception under photopic (daytime) lighting conditions, developing a model to quantify their relative contributions. Understanding these mechanisms is practically important for designing lighting that accurately delivers intended brightness levels while accounting for non-visual photoreceptor pathways.

Key Findings

Both S-cone and ipRGC signals contribute meaningfully to brightness perception beyond the classical luminance (V(λ)) response under photopic conditions
A model incorporating S-cone and ipRGC contributions was proposed to better predict perceived brightness, suggesting current photopic luminance metrics alone are insufficient for accurate brightness assessment
