This upper-level textbook begins with the concepts of modern psychophysical vision research (as opposed to vision system physiology), before detailing aspects of the processes that allow us to distinguish objects from their surroundings. The author then forms an integrated model of these processes, drawing on material in earlier chapters. Ten appendices present more advanced material for students with little knowledge of physics or mathematics.
