Identifying steep psychometric function slope quickly in clinical applications
Knowledge of an observer's psychometric function slope is potentially useful in clinical visual psychophysics (for example, perimetry), however, the short test times necessary in a clinical setting typically prevent slope estimation. We explore, using computer simulation, the performance of several possible procedures for estimating psychometric function slope within limited presentations (aimi...
متن کاملDistraction of attention and the slope of the psychometric function.
The influential uncertainty model [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 2, 1508 (1985)] attributes nonlinear contrast sensitivity near threshold to the inability of the observer to discriminate between the signal from stimulated locations and the noise from nonstimulated locations. We introduce an alternative interpretation, the distraction model, to describe the behavior of an observer who knows exactly which l...
متن کاملConverting between measures of slope of the psychometric function.
The psychometric function's slope provides information about the reliability of psychophysical threshold estimates. Furthermore, knowing the slope allows one to compare, across studies, thresholds that were obtained at different performance criterion levels. Unfortunately, the empirical validation of psychometric function slope estimates is hindered by the bewildering variety of slope measures ...
متن کاملThe slope of the psychometric function at different wavelengths.
Many current models of visual detection predict that the slope of psychometric functions for detection will be independent of the spectral power distribution of the test light once the spatial and temporal characteristics of the light are fixed. This article examines reports that the slope of the psychometric function depends on the wavelength of a spectrally-narrowband test light of fixed size...
متن کاملOrthoprojection Tests of Hyperspectral Data in Steep Slope Zones
Nowadays hyperspectral data are really important in the environmental field. While the advantages, due to their radiometric features are broadly documented a rigorous metric verification is still absent especially in uneven areas (mountains) where the presence of steep slopes produces strong deformations on the images that have therefore to be preventively corrected. The classification potentia...
