Abstract
The eye has two functions: one is to create, on the retina, an optical image of the scene external to the eye; the other is retinal, and concerns the generation of nerve signals, which give rise to the visual sensations in the brain. The signals pass from the retina to the brain, where there are different places intended to treat the various aspects of vision. The correspondence between the colour sensations and colour stimuli is obtained by applying the tools of physiology and psycho-physical analysis. This chapter invokes those concepts of optics that are required to describe the activation of the visual system, and describes the anatomy and physiology of the human visual system. It discusses the radiometric aspects of luminous radiation from its measurement out of the eye until its crossing with the photoreceptors of the retina. Colorimetry is defined on the greatest physiological evidence.
