This paper proposes a method to estimate the flicker severity index using the Hadamard transform. A weighting filter in the sequency domain is utilized for direct computation of the flicker index. The proposed method is compared with a flicker meter in the frequency domain that uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). It is seen by numerical simulations that the proposed method yields flicker sev...

Dark adaptation and the rise of cone flicker threshold (25 Hz) during dark adaptation were measured psychophysically in three patients with fundus flavimaculatus. The dark adaptation curve showed a delayed rod-cone break but a normal final rod threshold in all these patients. However, the rise of cone flicker threshold during dark adaptation was not delayed and also reached a normal final value...

We have studied psychophysically the characteristics of the postreceptoral stage of visual processing, using heterochromatic brightness matching (HBM) between 540 and 600 nm, and hue discrimination between 565 and 585 nm, under differing luminance flicker (0-30 Hz) and excitation purity (1.0-0.1) conditions. The HBM curves exhibit deeper minima around 575 nm with decreasing purity. The minimum ...

In phototropic tests with young Limulus, the phototropic reactions to flickering fields were studied. If the two fields are equal in area and brightness but different in flicker frequency, the number of animals going to the two fields is proportional to their flicker frequencies. Equal stimulating effects of two fields differing in flicker frequency are obtained by reduction of the area of the ...

Background: Gold standard penalization therapies for amblyopia are thankfully being challenged by new techniques and new technologies. One such technology, rapid alternate occlusion or alternating flicker was recently studied and improved visual acuity and stereopsis in anisometropic amblyopes. Methods: Starting with a recapitulation of the Eyetronix Flicker Glass Clinical Study of the affect o...

The ticker characteristics of the color-receptive systems of the eye were investigatedby measuring the modulation thresholds for sinusoidal flicker of one color superimposed on abackground of a complimentary color. A procedure is outlined that allows the flickercharacteristics determined using red, green and blue stimuli to be compared. The resultsobtained indicate that the red ...

We measured human psychophysical detection thresholds for test pulses which are superimposed on spatially homogeneous backgrounds that have abrupt onsets and offsets of high-contrast 25 Hz flicker. After the onset of the background flicker, test thresholds reach their steady-state levels within 20-60 ms. After the offset of the background flicker, test thresholds remain elevated above their ste...

Voltage variation is one of lamps flickering main cause; thus evaluation of a disturbing light flicker is a part of voltage quality classification. The instrument for flicker level measurement by means of voltage variation analysis is named flickermeter and is specified in standard EN 610004-15. The flickermeter is a specialized analyzer modeling response of a chain consisting of reference 60W ...

The estimation of flicker emission by a wind park is a complex issue because the network is shared with other loads or generators, even with other wind parks, which contribute to the flicker level. This estimation can be done by means of simulation as depicted in international standards, where the wind turbine generator (WTG) is simulated with a fictitious network, and the results of flicker em...
